What’s contact in a machine mediated world? What’s the power of the image? How does it feel to kiss without touching? Does the act change because we see it? What does it mean to construct an image with your tongue? And is there still desire? Does the act provoke it? What’s contact in a machine mediated world?
Machine mediated kissing in a performance = drawing with your tongue = taking pleasure, while constructing an image = a way to be superaware of the other = never totally abandoning yourself = ???????? = not at all like real kissing, it’s better! This might be a female view point.
A performance / installation at OTO Over The Opening, N6th St. Brooklyn, venue for the presentation of time-based art. October 10th 2008, from 7pm to 10 pm creation of a communal machine mediated kiss.
