kin_ vs Dragzina Usage & Stats
›kin_‹ is a performative dance piece by Charlotte Triebus exploring human corporeality with digital technology. One to three avatars move in augmented space and can be approached and experienced via your own mobile device. You are invited to join reality entanglements and its distortions, to sense alien intimacy and the fine line between observation and surveillance. Between agency, connection and interaction, the avatar dancers react to proximity and distance, movement and wind impulses. Together with its follow-up ›proxy‹ it brings Performance Art right to your finger tips.
For the interactive, binaural soundtrack and reactive costumes, Charlotte Triebus has been collaborating with composer Brigitta Muntendorf as well as digital make-up artist Inès Alpha. ›kin_‹ has been developed and scientifically supported by MIREVI Lab (University of Applied Science Düsseldorf).
›kin_‹ has premiered in August 2021 and has travelled the world since.
Whether at your home, in open space, at Slamdance Festival in Saltlake City, at CCCB Barcelona or at NRW Forum in Düsseldorf – ›kin_‹ has been part of plenty of festivals, conferences and exhibitions with several international awards won, proving that the performance is experienced literally anywhere on Earth. The exact exhibition venues can be found in the event calendar on the serie’s website www.kin.dance, which is also accessible via the app.

Hi,
I am an artist Nikita Shokhov.
The Dragzina AR app is a work of art; it's our collab with Masha Vorslav, a leader of the Dragzina gender play community in Moscow.
This immersive experience is going to challenge your perception of space. The LGBTQIA+ community is often disoriented within heteronormative spaces, and this work reverses that dichotomy by disorienting the audience.
Through the poetics of augmented reality and cinematic holograms, the Dragzina community and I work together to amplify their voices toward freedom of human individuality. You will see drag artists from Moscow: Lorina Rey, Masha Vorslav, Vanessa Diziai, Ramona Vile, Vannet, Anoche Xenon, Skinny Jenny, and Polis Vera/Robert.
This virtual magical environment represents a typical underground queer party that allows disruption of the state dictatorship. It is where an image of a better future is born.
The length of the performance is 12 minutes.
This immersive experience only works with LiDAR-powered iOS devices (iPhone 12 Pro or newer and iPad Pro 2nd Gen or newer). So please make sure you have an appropriate one before installing the app.
First, you will 3D scan your space and have clear instructions on how to do it.
Then, you will immerse yourself in the drag queen performances. The experience will engage you with virtual characters, the architecture around you, and other humans in space if they are present.
