BRANDON: A One-Year Narrative Project in Installments explores issues of gender fusion and techno-body in both
public space and cyberspace. BRANDON derives its title from Brandon/Teena Brandon of Nebraska, USA,
a gender-crossing individual who was raped and murdered in 1993 after his female anatomy was revealed.
This WWW project, conceived for multi-artist/multi-author collaboration, deploy's Brandon into cyberspace
through multi-layered narratives and images whose trajectory leads to issues of crime and punishment in the
cross-section between real space and virtual space.
