Imagine being thrown into a dressing room in Deep Space 8K and creating a new persona through fashion. What items would you choose? In this interactive artwork you can be both the fashion- and makeup-artist.

Queens is an interactive digital artwork for Deep Space 8K by Ildiko Mayr. By involving the audience, the installation challenges gender norms in a playful way and is designed to surprise and entertain. Visitors can use a tracking system to create three personas who will later perform for them. In the end, it remains unclear who really pulled the strings: the audience or the three personas.
