VR PRESENTATION

haus of haraway
“haus of haraway” is a VR piece inspired by donna haraway’s
1985 essay “a cyborg manifesto”, within which she writes:
"The cyborg does not dream of community on the model of the organic family....
The cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden;
it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust”.
this piece pulls from the idea of a cyborg rejecting the “organic family”
and positions it within the context of drag “houses”
which serve as alternative, self-made, families meant to be safe spaces.
“haus of haraway” is a virtual stroll through a house that is disjointed and sleek;
fluid and completely inorganic.
