A screengrab of IV Nuss' video work, I Really Want To Go To Anthrocon 2025 But I'm Too Scared To Enter The States With My Tranny ID, 2025. This video was screened as part of a series of performances and lectures and was billed as a "live performance" even though Nuss was clearly absent. Nuss is a German poet and artist whose work approaches the universal and transcendental by way of the mundane and pedestrian. In the video, she pretends to buy plane tickets and pack for a trip to the US ("I'll be with you soon") but notes certain obstacles to the journey—the US government, finances— and reflects on how we might be together at a distance. These days, everywhere seems to take place in the same sort of nowhere-place—a hotel lobby, for instance—where there's an intimacy in the shared blandness of it all. Haven't we all been to the DoubleTree Hotel? Haven't we fallen in or out of love there? Nuss also invents the "layers of the fursuit" — the outer layer, the outer-inner layer, the strategically placed layer, "negative cerberus," "Selva Obscura," "Swoon As You See Your Own Death," and the Endo Sphere —and compares them to the layers of a suitcase she pretends to pack. It's funny, weird, and moving.

Some excerpts:
A photo of Julianna Huxtable's newsprint poster by fictitious journal The Sunday Independent running the headline "FURRIES GONE TOO FAR". Photo by Tommy Bruce. But trust me that the feeling is different. What feels substantially different about a show like "Room Party" is perhaps just its necessity, not only to the furries (for whom this sort of self-expression is at times a matter of queer life or death), but for the rest of us. I want to make a case for this art's relevance to Furry and human alike. The ninety-odd works of art at "Room Party" are some of the best l've seen in years, in part because none of them turn away from the fact that it's 2025, not 1945. Also, they're so weird and fun and maximally gay and highly specific. To quote writer/artist Chris Kraus, "Our specificity is all we have to offer." What the furries understand is that we artists working today have to proverbially choose a fighter (and rehashed minimalism/formalism is not a fighter). Our choices are: We can commit to a tech-accelerationist sublime—a dark vision of technological/social change and the end of history, which leads to us eventually shipping consciousness to Mars in shitcoin-funded space vessels; or We can accept our condition as hopelessly stranded between the virtual and IRL, accept the depersonalization and disembodied trans-ness of it all, follow our desires, and remain here on Earth to attend the ongoing rave reembodied as sexy cartoon tiger avatars.
