With my NPO Kareron, I am the co-producer of UKI a Sci-fi Alt Reality cinema by Shu Lea Cheang with Jorgen Brüning. We decided to demistify the production of a 3D film by opening its production to the audience and were invited by the Schedhalle in Zürich to present UKI Virus Becoming.
We started by a DJ night inside the immersive installation UKI Virus Rising and then presented an open casting performance with 12 local recruited performers and selected 3 performers who performed in front of the audience while we captured their movements and integrated their faces into UKI avatars.
