Conversation: Isabel Beavers and Lou Fauroux discuss charting queer histories and technologic fluidity

Artists Isabel Beavers and Lou Fauroux examine the restorative capacity of re-mapping histories. While mapping can and has been used to assert power, revoke rights, and de-territorialize peoples, tracing and materializing hidden queer stories is also an act of resistance. By charting queer networks in Hollywood’s Golden Age, Fauroux unearths figures, narratives, and spaces that expand our understanding of LA’s queer past, thus opening up possibilities for queer futurity. These queer figures materialize as digital avatars, their relationships playing out in imagined dialogues and reconstructed spaces. Beavers and Fauroux discuss how fluid technological practices can counter the omnipotent structures of the post-digital age.Lou Fauroux is a 2026 resident with Villa Albertine. Described as “GTA meets Hollywood Babylon”, their project Diamonds and Rust imagines a docu-fictional Los Angeles through a queer, critical, and technological lens. Isabel Beavers is a transdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles working at the intersections of new media, ecology, and collective action. Beavers is the Artistic Director of <a href="https://www.supercollider.la/" title="https://www.supercollider.la/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Supercollider LA</a>.This conversation is presented as a part of Re–Fest, CultureHub’s annual festival that brings artists, activists, and technologists together to explore our role in re-shaping the future.
