Flux Factory artists Sholeh Asgary, Heather Kapplow and Jonathan Sims presented at the Juxtapose Art Fair 2021, which featured 25 artist groups for 3 days at Godsbanen in Aarhus, Denmark.

3123 Telegraph Yes

Presented by Sholeh Asgary + Heather Kapplow, 3123 Telegraph Yes is part of an ongoing effort, through play, to remind ourselves that interfaces are not neutral, and that we don’t have to accept how they frame us. As we consider meeting in person again, 3123 Telegraph Yes offers activities in physical form that resemble early Zoom prototypes to encourage a further blurring of boundaries.

Asgary (USA) and Kapplow (USA) began working together in Aarhus in 2019, and have spent 2020-21 collaborating on a series of audience-participatory Zoom explorations that questioned this piece of corporate technology that has been colonizing our homes, schools, places of worship and other gatherings since Covid began. Their work focuses on disambiguating image from experience, and opening up more space for the unresolved.

We Move in Infinite Space

We Move in Infinite Space (2021), by video artist Jonathan Sims, uses mirrors and video feedback to capture and transmit the disorientation of being in our current moment. It is also an invitation to play, a place to test the waters of feeling joy and freedom again.
