Dentaxuvia is an expanded reality (XR) project, by Los Angeles based artists Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou and Huntrezz Janos, that blends performance, games, augmented reality, interactive sculptures, and poetry, in a science fiction visual explosion, complicating the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible. It began as a mixed reality live performance, which premiered at REDCAT Disney CalArts Theatre in 2023.
For their first solo show as a team, Antigoni & Huntrezz transform their theatrical performance into an interactive installation, inviting the audience to inhabit their environment, interact with their augmented reality avatars, and play their video game – assuming the roles of characters within the Dentaxuvia narrative, making each playthrough a unique performance.
The result is an act of queer resistance that takes audiences on a supernatural journey, igniting the belief that anyone can shed old skins and reclaim agency in the face of oppressive regimes.

Surrogate is an artist book, based on a pregnancy journal, which charts the progress of a performance project over the course of fifty-two weeks. Lauren Lee McCarthy offers her body to carry someone else’s baby while they monitor and control her with an app. For nine months they decide what she eats, what she does, what thoughts she meditates on — holding complete control over the body in which their baby is growing. As Roe v. Wade is overturned and gene editing opens entirely new reproductive futures, this project asks: How much control should we have over a birthing person’s body, and over a life before it begins?
