between [you] and [me] — New Media Web Story — Fellows Collective, 2024

An aspiring poet moves to the imperial metropolis and builds a new body for himself. His childhood friend stays home, isled by the smallness of their low-cost labour technohub in the Asia-Pacific. Their reconnection reveals that dreams of the past are not so distant after all. “between [you] and [me]” is a multimedia narrative in electronic love(?) letters. As genderqueer Pacific youths, Deyu and Sayang’s paths intertwine in a dying world of uneven technological advancement and environmental destruction, where queerness and access to community feel like high-fidelity western commodities—impossible. This was also an excuse(!) to write a cheesy cyborg romance. Created with Sidnee Lim. Illustration by Isabel Li.
