Taking George Bataille’s pornographic novella The Story of the Eye as its starting point, this initial presentation follows a year long creative investigation with academics Fabienne Collignon and Calum Rodger and writer Alan McKendrick.
The work-in-progress utilises robotics, silicone prosthetics, kinetic sculpture, technic poetic text and performance to investigate technological transgressions – focusing in particular on the role of the camera in eroticism, personal computers in modern sexual relationships and how a machine’s motions can simulate erotic acts. Using adult web streaming channels this work explores pornography in the context of live theatre and live theatre in the context of pornography.
