The new Arse Elektronika anthology will be available soon!
Humans are a sexual as well as tool-using species. The remarkable diversity of human behavior shapes and is shaped by sex and technology. But most discussions about this tend to make certain assumptions about the culture, class and race of the participants. Technologically-represented sex and porn tend to be male-centric, heterocentric, ageist and ableist. Who gets left out of this, what effects does it have and what would it look like to include those who are left out? How is exponential growth in technology permeating into the realm of sex? How do we create and experience techno-sensual spaces? What are the games of the teledildonic age? And how can sex tech change the political landscape of tomorrow?
