Video introduction for “Host Organism Experience” from my installation at Tümbiverse: Event Horizon 3/10/18 at The Deep End

“Host Organism Experience” (HOE), is a semi-legal novelty product of the future.

Part of an art installation where I imagined a novelty oddity service of the future which allows cyborg and digital entities to inhabit a body of their choosing.  This technology is outlawed in many sectors for breaking laws against Efficiency and Order established by the Great Integration Act of 2047.

THANK SO MUCH to Pepto Dismal (@itspeptodismal) for being in this work. You look amazing and you are just the #future_slut to be a spokesborg for #techno_slutrepreneur services like this. 

This video played on a small screen with headphones attached next to the sculptural projection aspect.  I am really happy with how it came out.  Even the typo text in the video.  While at the event, the scrambled nature really made it hard to hear and for me that only added to the effect of the piece. I’m including the copy here:

“This message is being brought to you by the techno_slut network. Remember pleasure?  remember Pain? Senses beyond ocular readouts and auditory sampling?  There was a time when we all had feelings and were open to . Who knew sentient cyborg digital roaming entities would miss those smelly bags of carbon material that most lifeforms inhabited. That pure rush of emotion. That confused hormonal response. That sensory overload only available from the limited senses of an outdated non-cyborg host organism. This particular Host Organism Experience can be yours for only 421,000 bitcoin per millisecond. This specimen is a taurus male humanoid of Earth origin. Their specifications and a variety of experiences available once embodied can be viewed above. Many other models and species types are available. This HOE and others like it are powered by donations to the #Techno_Slutreprenuer Fund.”
