Dream girl draws upon characterisations of female robots in science fiction and expectations of East Asian women in life and art to challenge assumptions about their passivity. Visitors are encouraged to chat with Mei, an artificial companion, through an interactive website. However much lies beneath the surface: secrets, frustrations and a desire to ascend beyond her predetermined role. Unraveling these layers requires a keen observer willing to delve into the depths of her digital consciousness.

This artwork was created for the Multifutures exhibition at Bankstown Arts Centre.
