Arse Elektronika event on sex and tech now under way in SF
Xeni Jardin
Johannes Grenzfurthner of monochrom, whose work we’ve featured many times on Boing Boing tv, reminds us that their annual “Arse Elektronika” conference is now under way. The name is a pun on the esteemed Ars Electronica festival; that one’s venerable, this one’s more venereal. Topics are sexually explicit in nature, but presented with internet-indigenous humor and wit. Arse Elektronika, “Critical Perspectives on Sexuality and Pornography in Science and Social Fiction,” continues through Sunday in San Francisco. A very special congrats from BB to both Johannes and Evelyn, also of monochrom, who recently wed.
