For over 5 years, I have rigorously delved into the world of Reality TV and AI – exploring ideas of death, fame and legacy – fearlessly provoking viewers to critically engage with the ineffable ways in which these mediums shape and influence our very identities and relationships, and the zeitgeist of our nation more broadly.

A party (event) invoking the regional tradition of the debutante ball – with an emphasis on the double meaning of ‘coming out’ in society. Guests attending the deb are encouraged to invite dates of the same gender to attend with them. This work was developed in response to conversations with young people local to Kandos, and from the artist’s own experiences growing up in regional Australia.
