Arse Elektronika 2015: Shoot Your Workload \/ Sex, Work And Tech
\nArse Elektronika San Francisco 2015<\/p>\n

SHOOT YOUR WORKLOAD — SEX, WORK AND TECH.
\nOctober 2-4, 2015 in San Francisco, USA.<\/p>\n

Call for talks, performances, games, workshops, machines, systems!<\/p>\n

* How can we change work structures in the sex tech field. Is DIY really so revolutionary, or are we just tinkering around with our misery?
\n* Work and labor struggle and exploitation in sex tech. What to do about dildo sweatshops?
\n* What are the correlations of technology and sex work?
\n* Some research suggests that different sexual dynamics prevail in traditional breadwinner households. What sexual dynamics might proliferate in an economy of widespread automation and basic income, in a society where “having a job” becomes increasingly antiquated?
\n* What is emotional labor to a chatbot?
\n* What about the connection between ‘work’ and active\/passive dichotomies in sex? What is the invisible work of bottoms and subs, and how might i t be better recognized?
\n* What do you do with your sex when it stops working?
\n* How is silicone working out for the environment? We know silicone is inert, versatile, non-toxic, and body safe as an object but what is our collective exit strategy for the e-waste & non-biodegradable leftovers of sex toy boom? How are silicone lubricants (and other health & beauty uses) interacting with the water supply once they’re washed down the drain?
\n* What work goes into the extraction of raw resources, such as the rubber tree plantations of South America that make our condoms and catsuits? How do you go from a rubber tree to a rubber dildo?
\n* How can we work out irreconcilable political differences to protect common interests for our sexual and reproductive health?
\n* How much sex does it take to power a light bulb? Can fucking charge a battery? Could we power electronics with our sex lives?
\n* What happens when your recreational sex life gets you fired? (Defi nitely blowing your work load!) How do you get back to work after a sexual scandal?
\n* How does activism focused around sexual orientation work with or against activism focused around gender identity? (e.g., In what ways has the fight for marriage equality worked for and\/or against the fight for transgender rights?)
\n* How do we create toys that improve how sex works for folks with disabilities?
\n* How does your sexuality-related activism add to your emotional workload?
\n* What happens when your recreational sex life starts to feel like work?
\n* Is making sex toys a good thing in a world already full of plastic junk? Is there another way? Biodegradable sex toys?
\n* Can someone please do something about this FUCKING PATENT TROLL?!?!
\n* Is patenting sex toys a special kind of evil?
\n* Is any of this smart sex toy stuff leading to Rise of the Machines?
\n* Would Comrade Lenin approve of all of this?<\/p>\n

Submit a talk, a performance, a game, a w orkshop, a machine, a system!<\/p>\n

Deadline: August 31, 2015.
\nOur selection will be announced early September, 2015. (Yes, yes, we can do that fast!)<\/p>\n
