cool interview about the relation between technology, art, and sex.
the artist has a super interest multidisciplinary background and i always love seeing tech and more humanities based fields crossing over!
"The problem with technology is not the technology itself, but the people behind it; the acquisition of knowledge is also a re-appropriation of our minds, a decolonisation of our bodies, a re-education of attitudes and an eradication of limiting norms."

read from 2021 abt modern counterculture, rejecting tech overlords, and the dark forests of the internet
"To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.”

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
