As a social practice, Dead Projects aims to provide alternative viewing conditions and paid opportunities for emerging, minoritized artists in digital space through virtual exhibitions. These 3D-rendered platforms are built to support artists’ continued need to create and disseminate their work under secure conditions. Dead Projects prioritizes accessibility and adaptive modes of visual representation while sustaining both physical and intangible modes of creativity.
