"Dr. micha cárdenas is an artist/theorist who creates and studies trans of color movement in digital media, where movement includes migration, performance and mobility."
"Redshift & Portalmetal uses an unexpected platform, Scalar, which is primarily used for media-rich digital humanities scholarship and blogging. Aesthetically, Scalar enables work that bears some resemblance to the hypertextual elements of Twine, but with a strong focus on the integration of video. cárdenas uses the platform to craft a compelling science fiction narrative about the coming end of the world, with fragments of video serving as the background for the text as the player moves forward and confronts challenges including the availability of hormones on the new planet as a trans woman. The work is in honor of the struggles of the native peoples of the Anishnabe, Mississauga, New Credit and Grassy Narrows territories, where environmental destruction is a huge ongoing threat." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume Three
