fuck yeah antiephemeral pomohumanism

The AOMC is thrilled to welcome 888ism.e as our newest curator of the ETLE Universe! 888ism.e joins us as the curator of the Universe's Pornography work.

888ism.e aims to illuminate areas of potential connection among beings (practical) and to interrogate the sham notion that the universe is anything but continuous matter and anti-matter (theoretical).  By seeking telescopically the widest lens/most distant viewpoint as a way to experience the range of perspectives all the way from cosmos to micro-views/extreme close-ups, 888ism.e desires a viable framework for eroticism that nourishes power, agency and possibility. 

888ism.e, Curator of Pornography, has lived on this planet for over 5 decades, accruing knowledge at a snail’s pace but somehow putting things together enough along the way to survive, thrive and get paid.

Formal & informal fields of study have included medicine (various forms), anatomy & physiology, medical anomalies (age 1 to present), dance (age 3 to present), visual art (age 4 to present), english language (age 5 to present), pornography and mathematics (age 6 to present),   

888sim.e is a pseudonym, in play here for the purposes of liberation, taking no prisoners, pulling no punches, cultivating reliable space for imagining, and fun.  As curator of pornography, 888ism.e envisions a reclaiming of power by interrogating embedded mechanisms of capitalism in our erotic supply system. If our senses constitute our agency, what stops us from enacting the most realized visions we possess?
