Commissioned by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Brandon (1998–99) by Shu Lea Cheang is a landmark art project that spans disciplinary boundaries. One of the most ambitious projects that the new media artist and activist had realized at that point in her career, the web artwork was inspired by the story of trans man Brandon Teena. The work explores “issues of gender fusion and the techno-body in both public space and cyberspace” through a meta-narrative structure defined by hyperlinks to a network of connected interfaces that begins with the splash page.
