Arse Elektronika 2008 Theme Song: "Could It Be" We decided to declare "Could It Be" our official Arse Elektronika 2008 theme song.
Why? Because it tells the story of two gay subroutines. And that's more than fitting. "Could It Be" is from our Semi-Best-Of album "Carefully Selected Moments", available on iTunes. Link (hi-res video) Posted by johannes,

Arse Elektronika's Terabyte Gloryholes: Facebook: main group, events 2009 Twitter: 2009, 2010 (Hong Kong), 2010 (SF) Flickr pools: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 (Hong Kong) ASCII: discuss mailing list Arse Elektronika 2009 was supported by: Arse Elektronika 2010. September 30 thru October 3, 2010 in San Francisco, USA.
We may not forget that mankind is a sexual and tool-using species. And that's why our annual conference Arse Elektronika deals with sex, technology and the future. As bio-hacking, sexually enhanced bodies, genetic utopias and plethora of gender have long been the focus of literature, science fiction and, increasingly, pornography, this year will see us explore the possibilities that fictional and authentic bodies have to offer. Our world is already way more bizarre than our ancestors could have ever imagined. But it may not be bizarre enough. "Bizarre enough for what?" -- you might ask. Bizarre enough to subvert the heterosexist matrix that is underlying our world and that we should hack and overcome for some quite pressing reasons within the next century. Don't you think, replicants? |
