New technologies are quick to appeal to pornography consumers,<br \/>\n\tand thus these customers represent a profitable market segment for the<br \/>\n\tsuppliers of new products and services.<\/p>\n<p>\tCurrently, all factors show that high-tech developments owe a great<br \/>\n\tdeal of their success to the need for further sexual stimulation. One<br \/>\n\tcould cite the example provided by the science fiction concept of a<br \/>\n\tfull-body interface designed to produce sexual stimulation. But it isn\u2019t<br \/>\n\tscience fiction anymore. It&#8217;s DIY.<\/p>\n<p>\tAs bio-hacking, sexually enhanced bodies, genetic utopias, and<br \/>\n\tplethora of gender have long been the focus of literature, science<br \/>\n\tfiction and, increasingly, pornography, this year will see us explore<br \/>\n\tthe possibilities that fictional and authentic bodies have to offer. Our<br \/>\n\tworld is already way more bizarre than our ancestors could have ever<br \/>\n\timagined. But it may not be bizarre enough. &#8220;Bizarre enough for what?&#8221;<br \/>\n\tyou might ask. Bizarre enough to subvert the heterosexist matrix that is<br \/>\n\tunderlying our world and that we should hack and overcome for some<br \/>\n\tquite pressing reasons within the next century.<\/p>\n<p>\tDon&#8217;t you think, replicants?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The complete schedule of &#8220;The Next HOPE&#8221; can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/thenexthope.org\/2010\/06\/the-next-hope-schedule-is-now-online\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>monochrom presents a talk about Arse Elektronika at 2600&#8217;s &#8220;The Next HOPE&#8221; Conference (July 16-18, 2010) in New York City.
