Technology – Video Pool Media Arts Centre

bingenTV -Sophie Seita & Naomi Woo

bingenTV is presented by Cluster Festival and Video Pool Media Arts Centre.

June 6 – August 1, 2025

Working with video, textile, autofiction, and various installation processes, Sophie Seita’s and Naomi Woo’s exhibition pulls out and reroots the speculative potential of archives and queer history.

Playful and flirty, this genre-bending talk show installation features a cast of queer characters real and fictional, past and present, in a whirlwind jaunt through space and time.

A darkly lit room with acoustic treatment on the walls, containing a desk with two computer monitors, a midi controller, and a keyboard and mouse on it. A desk chair is tucked under it. There are 6 speakers surrounding the desk.
