From the depiction of female genitalia in a cave painting to the latest Internet porn, technology, art, and sexuality have always been closely linked. So closely, in fact, that the development of emergent technologies - photography, motion pictures, and the Internet - has been largely fueled and funded by pornography. As J. G. Ballard once prophesied, "Sex times technology equals the future.” In the spirit of Ballard's epiphany, an eclectic gr...

From the late '70s to 2005, V. Vale interviewed Bruce Conner by telephone and in person mostly in the afternoons. Spontaneous yet insightful in his conversation, Conner is revealed as an innovative improvisatory artist whose goal in life seemed to be freedom and the transcendence of hidebound careerist conformity in all its bureaucratic manifestations. Therefore he created art that annihilated boundaries, categories and predictability. These i...

In an inspired touch, RE/Search publisher V.

As the official artists' collective representing Vienna at the Sao Paulo Art Biennial in 2002, the monochrom group -- Johannes Grenzfurthner, Gunther Friesinger, and Daniel Fabry -- invented an artist called Georg Paul Thomann and carried off the exhibition as a very elaborate prank. The trio, aided by philosopher Thomas Ballhausen, brings that same sense of the cutting-edge and the carnivalesque to this collection exploring erotica, science f...

Along the way, it documented in real-ti...
