Coordinated with festival planners to create an installation for MIX NYC 2024's closing night party. "The Cunnilingus Collection" is a parody of The Criterion Collection's viral "Criterion Closet" video series, where celebrities enter a room full of DVDs and get to pick out ones to talk about. Our closet is full of queer expermental film, YouTube videos, and pornography. The Cunnilingus Closet aims to disrupt the notion of a coherent canon and reclaim 'tastemaking' as a community endeavor. Participants enter the closet and are guided by an AI Martin Scorsese voiceover to select a film they've seen or a film they want to watch. There are 100 custom-made DVD cases in the closet that people can take home with them after the party. These cases were generated with metadata scraped from TMDB and run into an Adobe Indesign file, then zhuzhed by myself and collaborator Laine Elliott. With some additional hands, we printed and assembled the DVD cases, then mounted them in the closet in addition to an AV rig that would hold up over the course of the night.
