Come celebrate the conclusion of a 10 week study of p☆rnographic pasts, surveilled digital states, and cyberspace futures!
Through a collective examination of community research reports, social media cultural criticism, sci-fi films, and s$x worker art, students have deepened one another’s understanding of digital wh☆re struggle including shadowbanning, the broligarchy, femmebot heartbreak, and much more.
Now, join us for a showcase of our Wh☆retopias. Using performance, installation, visual media, and language, we’ll collectively imagine cybers$x futures in the interest of liberation for all. Because to paraphrase José Esteban Muñoz’s Cruising Utopia: “Wh☆reness is not yet here.”

What’s wrong with noise? Can we use sounds as a way to build sonic textures without having the pressure to create music? Where could that experiment lead us?
@crashingwavy taught Poetics and Protocols of Sampling, and then wrote a chronology of their class, sharing more about his proposal to study and experiment together while creating an 'expanded field' of musical sampling.
