​​”The sun isn't close to rising, and you've already offloaded every last vintage roseToken you won in that cryptoestate sale last week. A temporary hold has been placed on your account. And now a privately-owned, city-contracted driverless vehicle is being dispatched to your coordinates (at your expense) because your eye tracking speed has fallen below the average of your fellow bar patrons' preferences (they're calling you sloppy babe) as agreed to in the TOS. Oh—and you use an ugly interface. It's not just like that in the future, you picked that yourself.”

ONE FATE STUPID features collaborative artworks by Bun Stout and Brittany Sowacke, piecing together narratives, scams and a philosophical internal monologue from a night in a near-future drag bar.

Bun Stout Chicago-based artist whose multidisciplinary artwork bridges physical and digital media to tell stories about imaginary futures and catalyze brief experiences of transformation. The resulting artworks are sculpture, video, augmented reality couture, fashion editorials, and the lived experiences of the wearers themselves.

Brittany Sowacke is a freelance photographer specializing in portraiture and entertainment. Her photos are bright, energized, and joyful; frequently focused on local music, queer lifestyle, and the intersection of humanity and the natural world.
