#256: Joseph Nechvatal – ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~venus©~Ñ~vibrator, even 1

Joseph Nechvatal’s 1995 cybersex novella ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~venus©~Ñ~vibrator, even is based on the idea that any form of sexual order is only temporary and that social gender is therefore in a permanent state of becoming. The American artist describes a political-spiritual matrix of possibilities – full of androgynous eroticism and flowery virtuality. Embedded in sounds by experimental artist Arcane Device, Nechvatal had the text read aloud by a computer voice during his art exhibition vOluptuary: an algorithmic hermaphornology at the Gallery Universal Concepts Unlimited (NYC) in 2003.

No Wave Time Warp



When no wave emerged in New York City in the late 1970s, noise musician, art critic and artist Joseph Nechvatal was already there. Based on the music of that time, he and Paul Paulun discuss aspects of the movement, which used radical, often multimedia works to oppose the commodification of music and art.
