QUEER SCIENCE FICTIONS

Archive

VOL 4, NO 1 (2018)
Incited by recent conversations and controversies concerning queers and queerness in popular science fiction, this issue, with special guest editor Nike Sulway (Rupetta, 2013), offers a range of perspectives on queer science fictions. 
The articles, interview, and reviews in this issue seek to make visible the invisible queer pasts, presents, and futures of science fiction, and to cultivate science fictional possibilities for future actual and imagined queer bodies, lives, relationships, communities.

‘Manifolds’ is a fully immersive, physically interactive, three-dimensional digital projection environment. The artwork explores how interactors (performers or viewers) may experience a shift in their sense of physical presence in the space through interaction with an adaptive torsional visual agent. The work allows the interactors to gain a sense of their presence in the environment through visual feedback of haptic torque, allowing a sense of extension of their bodies to emerge – between the individual and collective interactors and the visual agent.
