yeule's Oculus Mixtape

yeule’s techno-organic sonic universe in ArtScience Museum’s Oculus summons us into a post-human world where expression is no longer bound by identity; where we are free to assemble ourselves along lines of affinity. A future where our assigned gender is no longer relevant, where we can congregate with whoever we are drawn to, regardless of our assigned human forms.

yeule is a project of non-binary artist and cyborg entity Nat Ćmiel, constructed as a manifesto of Ćmiel’s own mutable identity and a portal or rift which allowed them to communicate their art to the outside world. yeule exists to store fragments of their reality, dreams and emotional states — an external memory device, a brain or emotional centre that exists independently of its creator.

In a world not too different from ours, performers are assimilated into eternal broadcasting systems called 'The Ether'. The connection into this realm sustains and prolongs the life of the physical body, luring in human subjects willing to sacrifice conventional existence in order to be remembered eternally.

In this reality, a new generation of pop idols are born, in a memory loop under surveillance. The Ether is a database of all permutations of entertainment, powered by the shards formed by the love of their fans. The loop goes on until there is no one is left to love them. Like an internet connection severed and cut, the illusion shatters. 

yeule documents their journey into this universe in their short film, Ether — 电子脉络, recounting the visions and sensations they were raised upon.
