UKI by Shu Lea CheangFrom July 2021 to November 2022 I worked closely with filmmaker and multimedia artist Shu Lea Cheang on her upcoming movie UKI.
I designed and animated 3d characters, 3d props and 3d environments, recorded D.I.Y. motion capture during a residency at Antre Peaux (Bourges, FR) and worked on a few VFXs.UKI’s storyline unfolds as we follow a defunct replicant REIKO dumped on Etrashville - a vast dump for tech - who tries to pull themselves back together with the help of Etrashville's transgenic inhabitants. Parallel to REIKO’s trajectory is that of an infected city where we are made aware of the reckless schemes of the biotech enterprise, GENOM Co.The three narratives interweave in three film sets - (1) A virtual BioNet owned by GENOM Co. takes human bodies hostage to re-engineer red blood cells into nano-computing self-generated orgasms. BioNet collects enhanced orgasm data through handshake wet-data transmission and ultimately produces orgasmic red pills for mass consumption. (2) A besieged diner in the city where the infected congregate to exchange own orgasm data for fresher, intenser, mutual orgasm. The diner is also the meeting-place for hackers who traverse time and space, bringing in news of protest and manifestation while uncovering GENOM’s bio-engineering scheme. (3) Etrashville, set in the Deep Continent, where REIKO awakes to find their glitched body undergoing a series of transformations as they encounter the transgenic queer creatures who inhabit Etrashville.As the plot thickens, REIKO’s body is coded, recoded and finally collapses to re-emerge as UKI the Virus. Setting back GENOM's plans, UKI the Virus seems on the brink of swarming through the infected city to liberate the red blood cells. Through virus becoming, viral love, we find a way to reclaim our viral bodies."This extraordinarily visually intense film moves from 3D graphics to game engine generated cinematic mise en scène to visual effects enhanced live action scenes in an extraordinary tour de force of contemporary digital collage."
- Matthew Fuller, Professor of Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London

Visual identity for TU – Théâtre de l’Usine
From 2019 to 2024 I was responsible for creating and make evolve the visual identity for TU – Théâtre de l’Usine, a theater and art space in Geneva (CH) dedicated to showcase the young performance, theater and dance scene from Switzerland and abroad. This include designing and creating every communication supports, plus miscellaneous requests, like a wallpaper for the lobby of the theater, goodies or AR filters.To reflect the diversity of the programmation and the focus on queerness and marginalized populations, the visual identity of TU – Théâtre de l’Usine is emotional, colorful, excessive, seemingly chaotic, breaking away from Swiss design codes and norms.Each season, the visual identity is re-interpreted to accompany the themes and ambiance of the programmation, for instance, inspired by Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler for the January 2020 - June 2020 season or inspired by corals and sea worlds for the February 2023 - June 2023 season.
