The Gold Ones follows the character Ivan Poe and his adventures in the fictional environment - the Cosmic Care Home. Viewers stepped inside the giant cuboid structure on Armada Way to view short animated films depicting the well-meaning but slightly destructive character navigating her way through a bright, surrealist landscape.
The Gold Ones has since become an ongoing project for the artist group Reactor. The evolving narrative, that uses video, performance and installation to explore an imagined future is intended to venture further in getting to know the Gold Ones through the documentary, about who they were and how they exist.
