New Arse Elektronika Anthology! "Of Intercourse and Intracourse – Sexuality, Biomodification and the Techno-Social Sphere"

We will present the newest Arse Elektronika Anthology at Arse Elektronika 2011.

Of Intercourse and Intracourse – Sexuality, Biomodification and the Techno-Social Sphere



We may not forget that mankind is a sexual and toolusing species. And that’s why monochrom’s conferene 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 anthology sees 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?
