A chat with Johannes Grenzfurthner, the brainiest pervert of them all.
Arse Elektronika’s 2012 incarnation was, to my mind, the world’s first sex-positive, sex-focused gaming conference. It was hosted by Johannes Grenzfurthner, of the philosophy/art/tech consortium Monochrom. The genial host is part MC, part mad professor, tossing around PHD-level queer theory one moment, posing for wacky photos and explaining “game-i-fuckation” the next.
We caught up with Grenzfurthner just after the show ended, to chat about finding, selecting and showcasing the finest examples of sex-gaming crossovers in the world.
