METAVERSE MAKEOVERS_ 1st REVEAL @ FUR + The Chrysalisseum



















Applying, revealing, and reflecting the infinite. A make-over evolution.

METAVERSE MAKEOVERS is a series of live performance installations integrating the latest in live-video processing and augmented reality enhanced projections. Three works will be presented site-specifically in the hyper-colour environments of beauty salons, saunas, and nail parlours across 2011.

3d Filmed and cinematographic assets undertaken across the physical site-specific venues feeds into the development of an online game, and downloadable AR couture line.

METAVERSE MAKEOVERS places contemporary perspectives on beauty, the art of maquillage, and mediated forms of embodiment under a seductive lens.
