Potty Mouth #100years since Women given right to vote

In honour of the Suffragettes. #100years today since some women were given the right to vote, but working class women and women under 30 waited another 10 years. 

Still a way to go for gender equality

Long way to go for gender equality and yet 100 years since Women given the right to vote. Enough with your phallic, capitalist, gun and violence toting hypocrisy and rule ye mankind. Stop the war. Compassion and empathy are key to survival. Not oneupmanship and deviant, snakey, denial of deceptive, sly behaviour. Enough is enough. Play fair or we all die. Ignorance is far from bliss. Get a grip #boys

Yes that is an ear on his arm! That’s Stelarc.

Stelarc is a performance artist who has visually probed and acoustically amplified his body. He has made three films of the inside of his body. Between 1976-1988 he completed 26 body suspension performances with hooks into the skin. He has used medical instruments, prosthetics, robotics, Virtual Reality systems, the Internet and biotechnology to engineer intimate and involuntary interfaces with the body. He explores Alternate Anatomical Architectures with augmented and extended body constructs.

Virtual Futures

Director: Luke Robert Mason

Virtual Futures Collective
Virtual Futures Salons are a series of highly immersive event experiences that encourage and promote original thinking. They bring together artists, philosophers, cultural theorists, technologists and fiction writers to re-address the potential of looking at our future through a techno-philosophical lens.

Alternative Anatomies with Stelarc and Nina Sellars – Virtual Futures at the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Digital Design Weekend.

A momentous day in the technobiosphere of digital design / cyborg / post human / cultural studies / art history.

Guest speakers Nina Sellars from Symbiotica and #VF original Stelarc connected through a shared interest in anatomy. Sellars, looks at bio-material and has re-claimed fat as an organ with greater stem cell yield than bone marrow.

Stelarc experiments on his own body and is cultivating an internet enabled, stem cell grown 3rd ear on his forearm. The combined artist/scientif/ic practice is a groundbreaking collaboration that challenges anatomical boundaries, opening up further potential for unexpected possibilities for the human condition.

Real mind blowing, body popping stuff!!! #postART+SCIENCE artistic practice.

Virtual Futures stems from The Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (Ccru) a student-run interdisciplinary collective founded in 1995 out of the University of Warwick’s philosophy department. It was associated with the work of Sadie Plant, Nick Land, Dan O’Hara and many other rhizomatically linked associates.

Too drunk to give stunted growth pissed and confused attitude to fuck. Down at the local Co-op

Hacked off full stop. Apocalypse domesticus. Business ruinous. Slags nil. Pricks nil. Human consciousness growth lagging. A real techno to do about everything. Get a grip, it is shit. Breeders everywhere without a care. Get on or get out the way. Middlemen out. If you’re not learning you’re passively consuming. Study forever. Learn anyway. Otherwise succumb give up and fuck off into the waste screen, operate the machine. Help the fucked up kids born into it, thick with it, anger brews in girl crews. Enough stuffed. University.com information superhighway right in front of your face. Read and write a way of discovery tailored to a means of survival. Never before is there so much opportunity, life for the making exposed. Do with it what you will it only gets harder. Lecturer in washing up for hire. Child labour for exchange. Kicks for free. Council estate slag training recruitment down Co-op, when spit comes to shove. West Country rules. Drop the cockney crap. Slow progress round here as far as I’m concerned and only 6-7years left.Born to self destruct.
