Johannes Grenzfurthner will give talk about monochrom’s conference series “Arse Elektronika” at “Ars Electronica” (TELE INTERNET Bau 1, 3rd floor) in Linz, Austria: September 3, 2010, 7 PM.<\/p>\n
\n\n\tArse Elektronika: Sex, Tech, and the Future of
\n\tScrew-It-Yourself<\/strong>\n\t<\/p>\n\n\tWe may not forget that mankind is a sexual and tool-using species.\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\tFrom the depiction of a vulva in a cave painting to the newest
\n\tInternet porno, technology and sexuality have always been closely
\n\tlinked. New technologies are quick to appeal to pornography consumers,
\n\tand thus these customers represent a profitable market segment for the
\n\tsuppliers of new products and services.\n\t<\/p>\n\n\tCurrently, all factors show that high-tech developments owe a great
\n\tdeal of their success to the need for further sexual stimulation. One
\n\tcould cite the example provided by the science fiction concept of a
\n\tfull-body interface designed to produce sexual stimulation. But it isn\u2019t
\n\tscience fiction anymore. It’s DIY.\n\t<\/p>\n\n\tAs bio-hacking, sexually enhanced bodies, genetic utopias, and
\n\tplethora of gender have long been the focus of literature, science
\n\tfiction and, increasingly, pornography, this year will see us explore
\n\tthe possibilities that fictional and authentic bodies have to offer. Our
\n\tworld is already way more bizarre than our ancestors could have ever
\n\timagined. But it may not be bizarre enough. “Bizarre enough for what?”
\n\tyou might ask. Bizarre enough to subvert the heterosexist matrix that is
\n\tunderlying our world and that we should hack and overcome for some
\n\tquite pressing reasons within the next century.\n\t<\/p>\n\n\tDon’t you think, replicants?\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
