This lecture will explore the making of XXX Machina, tracing its development across philosophy, technical process, and lived experience. Through a post-structuralist and postmodernist lens, the pair will discuss artificial intimacies, eroticism, and digital embodiment, reflecting on how the creation of the award winning work offered autoethnographic insights into sex, selfhood, and computational desire.
Organised by Phreaking Collective as part of an series of talks and workshops accompanying BitRot, an exhibition exploring the fragility, decay, and obsolescence of our digital age. Taking its name from the slow degradation of digital files over time, Bit Rot stages a post-human reflection on the technologies that once promised progress and the lives they now leave behind.
All events hosted by Phreaking will be completely free of charge. We've set up a gofundme to assist with the production costs: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bitrot-exhbition/donate
