“The Aphrodisiac in the Machine” Lecture at UNAM, Mexico City
In February of 2024 I was part of a roundtable organized by theorist Maria Antonia Gonzales Valerio at the School of Philosophy and Literature of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City. The roundtable included: bio artist Adam Zaretksy; Aisen Caro Chacin, artist and medical interface designer at University of Texas; and Sandra Gonzáles Santos, researcher studying bioethics on repro technologies.
My talk titled “The Aphrodisiac in the Machine” starts at 26:45.
PLASMA 2021, Department of Media Study, University at Buffalo
45 minute talk on recent work including “Garden of Virtual Kinship”, “Planthropy”, “Trading Systems”, “Proof of Soil” and “Aphrodisiac in the Machine”
