Permissionless Bodies
Permissionless Bodies (2026) is a browser-based interactive installation informed by the trans experience of moving through systems that receive the body as a data point to be surveilled, processed, and stamped legible by a technofascist machine designed to eliminate what it cannot classify. Drawing on the writing of Paul B. Preciado, Legacy Russell, and Micha Cárdenas, the work begins with a single private sentence about your body that you would never post online and ends with a video artifact delivered to your phone, routed through one of four states: desire, exposure, performance, or refusal — asking what remains of the body once the system is done with it.
