POSTPORN VIDEOPERFORMANCES FOR LAURA IGE’S ART PROJECT: "HI, IM $NAME"
Hi, Im $NAME is a web performance about the role of women in the affective, digital and underground economy, from a Tinder bot materialized in several profiles. A malicious malware seen as attractive women engaged in chats to attract users. But T-bot produces to resist, to take that place as its own and to invade it with material available in the Internet and with platforms that already exist (Tinder, Youtube, Soundcloud, etc.). I am interested about the marginal and excluding place of representation for women, their role as naturalized –and dangerous- objects in society. A metaphor of the low class whore through the shape of a code. The questions around authorship, copyright as a system of exploitation and censorship, the anonymity of the collective over-production in Internet (digital and social debris) and the alter ego as episodes of doppelgänger -which are vehicles of experimentation around models of femininity, exploring feminine desire and identity- are addressed, through a fictional and Southern perspective.” Laura Ige
