In the present, pornography is pedagogical and produces the sexuality it represents. Patriarchal and binary biological and neurological narratives of dominant/active males, coy/passive females, and pathologized queer behaviour greet us on the home pages of popular porn websites, together with colonial narratives of the exoticised and fetishised other.

In the future, sexual experience is downloadable, hackable, and uploaded via neurological implants that stimulate your sensory nerves and pleasure centres directly. ‘Speculative Sex’ presents work by Shu Lea Cheang and Eric Pussyboy using science fiction narratives as a medium to re-present bodies and sex.

Event and screening schedule:
I.K.U. – Shu Lea Cheang, 73mins
Neurosex Pornoia 1 – Eric Pussyboy and Abigail Gnash, 10mins
Neurosex Pornoia 2 Teaser with Ze Royale – Eric Pussyboy and Abigail Gnash, 3mins

The screenings will be followed by a short talk by Eric Pussyboy about Neurosex Pornoia, his research on perspectives on gendered neurological research, and a Q&A.
