Cactus Digitale celebrates their 10th Anniversary Issue with a screening of work from contributing artists Austin Lee, Eleonora Luccarini, Ainslee Alem Robson, Sofya Skidan, and Theo Triantafyllidis.

An initial screening block will take place at 7pm for those who RSVP. Subsequent loops of the program will take place at 8 and 9pm with entry available to all. Please note: seating is limited, and is first-come, first-served.

The program will be followed by a live sound performance by Teebs in collaboration with dublab at 8:45, and is open to the public.

Ork Haus follows a family of Orks in a perpetual state of home confinement who find themselves increasingly online. Set in a satirical suburban fantasy, the film explores themes of digital dependency, performativity, and domestic absurdity, as the Orks navigate virtual intimacy and isolation in a hyper-mediated world.

Computer Love, Staring, and Driving and Crying are fleeting vignettes that offer moments of surreal calm, humor, and introspection within the rhythm of the screening program.
Using cartoon-like digital aesthetics, Austin Lee reflects on the hyper-accelerated consumption of images online. His animations stem from 3D sketches that echo his broader practice, which blends CGI and airbrush techniques to explore the intersection of classical painting traditions and digital visual culture.

Older Milkdromeda follows the reimagined alter ego of Eleonora Luccarini—a humanlike alien resurrected as a middle-aged, androgynous figure from a fictional, unfinished 1990s sci-fi film. Through poetry and staged introspection, Milkdromeda revisits her origins, wandering an abandoned film set while rehearsing poems that unravel shared fictions of failure, utopia, and female self-awareness.

What would you call a weirdness that hasn’t quite come together? is a video work exploring hybrid identity and unstable embodiment through the figure of a multiplying cybershaman. Merging natural and virtual landscapes, the piece reflects on posthuman transformation, trance states, and the dissolution of the physical self into shifting avatars. Blending sculptural imagery and sonic ritual, it evokes a sensorial meditation on reality, technology, and the fluid nature of being.

Ferenj is a visual dialogue between memory, reality, and the digital in an afrosurreal dreamscape crafted from Ainslee Alem Robson’s reconstructed childhood memories and portrayed as a curated collection of digital artefacts. The experience was generated using gaming technology and photogrammetry of crowdsourced videos from friends and family entirely recorded on mobile phones. An exercise in self-liberation, Ferenj proposes a post-spatial understanding of the concept of “home” in diaspora.

Teebs, the moniker of Mtendere Mandowa, is a Los Angeles-based musician and visual artist known for his distinctively layered soundscapes and intricate hand-painted works.
