Die-Cast is an artist collective that believes in radical collaboration. We create mixed-media installations and immersive performance art. Our work is site-responsive, be it in a physical, digital, or natural environment.
We have created 24 pieces since our founding in 2017. We have taken over historical mansions to allow audiences to wander from room to room, catching illicit love affairs and challenging the hetero-normative gaze in our adaption of La Ronde.
We have created work on Virtual Reality platforms to allow visitors to explore our worlds, like in our Inter Terrestrial commissioned by the I-Park Open Air Gallery.
We have been nominated for the prestigious Harvey Award for Best Adaptation of a Comic Book, alongside Hollywood Blockbusters like Marvel Studio’s Avengers: Endgame.
Die-Cast was commissioned to create a public installation for Art Week Miami 2020. Our piece Temporary Occupancy combined pre-recorded and live-streaming video projected two stories high on an exterior wall on Ocean Avenue, the busy downtown strip. The piece won the Juried Prize of $20,000 for the No Vacancy Festival, with Maria Elena Ortiz, Associate Curator at the Perez Art Museum Miami, noting that. "With impressive technological qualities, Temporary Occupancy is an ambitious and poignant project, embodying the artistic spirit of Miami Beach.”
We are iconoclasts in our hearts and have never worried about the hero’s journey. We are endlessly curious.
