BX (of 3x3x6) & FLUIDØ
BX (of 3x3x6)
BX derives from the real life stories of women, i.e. Lorena Bobbitt and Catherine Kieu who cut off her husband’s penis and threw it into a garbage disposal unit. The film is one of the chapters of the mixed media installation 3x3x6, created by Shu Lea Cheang.
It constructs a collective counter-history of sexuality, where cases of subjects incarcerated because of gender or sexual dissent, including Marquis de Sade and Michel Foucault are re-written as trans-punk-science fiction, queer, and anti-colonial imagination, providing visual and critical frameworks to think through the histories of subjection and resistance and to activate political actions.

FLUIDØ
FLUIDØ is VIRUS, SEX, HACK, DRUG & CONSPIRACY. Set in the post-AIDS future of 2060, where the Government is the first to declare the era AIDS FREE, mutated AIDS viruses give birth to ZERO GEN – humans that have genetically evolved in a very unique way. These gender fluid ZERO GENs are the bio-drug carriers whose white fluid is the hypernarcotic for the 21st century, taking over the markets of the 20th century white powder high.
The ejaculate of these beings is intoxicating and the new form of sexual commodity in the future. A new war on drugs begins and the ZERO GEN are declared illegal. The Government dispatches drug-resistant replicants for round-up arrest missions. When one of these government android‘s immunity breaks down and its pleasure centers are activated, the story becomes a tangled multi-thread plot and the ZERO GENs are caught among underground drug lords, glitched super agents, a scheming corporation and a corrupt government. Check yourself in as a fluid junkie for a super hyper viral ride.
