pr0nnovation: Pornography and Technological Innovation Book presentation / Austria December 16, 2008, 8 PM @ Raum D / Museumsquartier Vienna //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// It is our pleasure and privilege to present you with the first Arse Elektronika Anthology: "pr0nnovation?" From the depiction of a vulva in a cave painting to the newest internet porno, technology and sexuality have always been closely linked. No one can predict what the future will bring, but history indicates that sex will continue to play an essential role in technological development. Is it going too far to assume that research in nanotechnology and genetic engineering will be influenced by our sexual needs? The question is not whether these technologies alter humanity, but how they do so. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Edited by Johannes Grenzfurthner, Günther Friesinger, Daniel Fabry.
