I&nbsp; explore intimacy, fantasy and&nbsp; indigenous futurism. I love creating surreal, dreamy worlds and the hot fantasy babes who live in them. I also love exploring feminist cybernetics, generative design ethics and the possibilities of cultural heritage preservation using emergent design systems. &nbsp;Visual projects I have directed, animated or produced have screened at festivals and concerts in both North America and Europe as well as garnered a Student Academy Award for Best Experimental Film.&nbsp; I recently premiered experimental animated work at Artifice NYC’s “Deus Ex Machina” Showcase. I hold an MFA in Film and Television Production from USC's School of Cinematic Arts. Born and raised in Los Angeles, currently based in both LA and New York City. &nbsp; ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎ <img width="1280" height="720" width_o="1280" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f30f26e0094d206d895c263ccf510f9de1219375e79e515d452c25bdd5f88e55/gothheartcu0060-0-00-00-00.PNG" data-mid="217707057" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f30f26e0094d206d895c263ccf510f9de1219375e79e515d452c25bdd5f88e55/gothheartcu0060-0-00-00-00.PNG" /><img width="1280" height="720" width_o="1280" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/877bbbf590508d6d1e42ba353c3167c6a52372df06291ca2b4e46278cd8987d5/gothhearthand0060-0-00-00-00.PNG" data-mid="217707058" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/877bbbf590508d6d1e42ba353c3167c6a52372df06291ca2b4e46278cd8987d5/gothhearthand0060-0-00-00-00.PNG" /> Works https://frijoles.art/Works Wed, 17 Jan 2024 18:50:44 +0000 Alexa Velasquez https://frijoles.art/Works Projects Pandora’s Box (2024) LOVEGAZE (2024) DIOSA (2023) i wanted to feel and so i did (2022) SIMULACRA (2021) dreamscapes + fantasy babes&nbsp;
