Angela Goh: Desert Body Creep
More like a zombie than a phoenix, Desert Body Creep makes a case for transformation through a fantasy of decay. Things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl, and the next step is obviously to dance. Recasting fear and monstrosity, Desert Body Creep assembles a new form of philosophy based on sweet and tender nihilism.

The common history of women and machines gets new and confronting forms. Femininity and technology unite in the form of a fembot. Uncanny Valley Girl dives into the deepest depths of the uncanny valley– to the anxiety we feel in front of overly human-like machines.
