The Sex and Sexuality theme brings together artists and researchers
interested in exploring the interconnections of sexuality, sexual acts
and
digital media: the ways in which digital media shapes and channels
sexual
desires and identifications, as well as the kinds of sexual dynamics
that become attached to encounters with and though media technologies.
Possible directions range from (but are not limited to) the aesthetics
of sex art to online cultures of sexuality, porn distribution, sexual
politics, and sensuous intimacies with new technologies.
Theme leaders:
Jordan Crandall, UCSD, Visual Arts Department <jcrandall@ucsd.edu>
Susanna Paasonen, Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies
