PORNOGRAPHY AND COMMODIFICATION (clip of the show 4.17 MB)

It’s obvious from the screen shots below that this video work was a critique sexual commodity. I used animated gifs, flashing “enter” signs, bright colors, etc. I was going for overload—some cyber-version of Vegas. Unfortunately, I did a rather crappy job with most of the layouts. I didn’t think long enough about the individual nature of the comments (seen below the images). All of users’ responses approach Internet porn from a different angle. Each response, no matter how candid, reveals as much as it hides. I regret not taking the videos more seriously. Just look at the the clip (4.17 MB)

Mercedez: I like looking at two people fucking. Three is good too. Four is also good, and so on.

Emmet Menzelew: I don't look at much porn, but when I do, I want to see crazy, evil sex that I could never imagine taking part in--I want my porn to be so over-the-top that it shocks me into orgasm.

Mercedez: I also like girl on girl on girl Asian suck and fuckfests. BellRose: girls, girls, girls...tall ones, short ones, thin ones, fat ones, blondes, brunettes, you name it. ..I'm a horny teenager at 25.

Cdogg: I don't really get into it. Although, when I was downloading from lime wire, I by accident (I swear!), downloaded something called @!#$ bus.com or something. Women would be getting all up in the grill and nasty on the bus...

cINCH: plumpers...big women...that aren't shy about who they are or what they do to turn men on. I don't like the really fat ones though. just the ones with wide hips, big butts and big breasts. real women...not the fake kind. you know..like the ones you see at the kids soccer games...when you are in your car with binoculars and a couple of boxes of tissues.

sherril: This is as close as I come to porn... I am on somebody's email list because I get emails daily about big dicks - and at 56 that is just about the last thing on earth that has relevance in my life.

Mercedez: I usually go to the free sites and the ones I know of are mostly just white people with big tits and dicks. Same old @!#$. If I cared enough I would find other stuff

Thud Nugget: Anime Porn, dude

Mercedez: I just look at work when the boss is away. Here's a little secret. When I would get bored and a little [...] depressed [...] or horny, I would sneak into the basement at work and rub one out. I have a talent that helps me do this: I can orgasm without busting a nut, as it were. This is known as seminal retention, a sort of tantric practice.
