Navigating the era of omnipresent surveillance, Southern Gothic Love Letters to the NSA addresses multiple gazes.

Merging the tactile traditional act of handwriting with digital transformation, the artist’s physical presence is translated to computational cursive. The letters spawn a soundscape where script gives rise to synthetic breath, invoking an uncanny entity.

Rooted in Sun’s ritual practice of joy and resistance, the work grapples with generative art’s attachment to skeuomorphism while pushing the medium to multisensory embodied terrain. Nostalgic aesthetics become strategy, a dazzle camouflage to encrypt and protect.

Integrating performance and programming, Sun challenges binaries of femininity and tech prowess, reminding those who watch that the artist can be both muse and mechanic. She poses questions on how one chooses to (dis)appear in digital spaces and other spectral dominions.
