Bajo - New York City based, fashion, art, Spain |
Site Description:
I have built a porno website offering the possibility of being part
of a network of people getting sexual pleasure out of other peopleŐs
interaction using a cellular phone that receives in-coming calls to
be stimulated with direct vibration of the phone in the vagina and
also stimulates the person who wishes to look "voyeur" the sexual
activity through a web cam. It mocks the way porno is offered and
at the same time explores sexual/private issues in public getting
orgasms with the help of thousands of unknown people though internet,
as well as exposing the most intimate parts of your life/body in public
through the web cam . It is offered TOTALLY FREE you donŐt have to
pay and it is available 24h a day . It is complemented though with
the "sale" of items related to the activity such as a special ergonomically
shaped softed material PUSSYPHONE and special "PUSSYPHONE PANTIES
to hold the PUSSYphone for outgoing activities such as parties and
social gatherings. |
Site Creator:
ELENA BAJO IS AN ARTIST AND DESIGNER, BORN IN SPAIN, LIVING AND WORKING
IN NEW YORK. SHE HAS BEEN EXPLORING FOR FOUR YEARS ISSUES OF communication,
identity and memory, FOCUSED IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL
AND THE COLLECTIVE IN THE NEW ECONOMY USING BODY, SPACE AND CLOTHES
AS THE INTERFACE. Her work has been expressed through performances,
video, photography and the Net.
"My work is influenced by several disciplines such as Social Psychology,
Theatre, Fashion, Design, Sciences, Internet and the New Digital Technologies/Aesthetics
web culture, the everyday Spanish-American experience in the urban
context of New York, the contrasting socio-political-cultural-economical
circumstances in thirld world countries compared to developed ones
and the effect on peopleŐs lives, environmental/human & animal rights
issues.
My performances are based on the work of artists from the sixties
and seventies, but I am incorporating new elements such as new technology,
popular culture, Internet, and the appropriation from the performance
history As an accepted contemporary art vocabulary.
I can c ite as a major influence Vito Acconci for his time- based
performance work that is socially placed, Matthew BarneyŐs work dealing
with fashion and performance, Gregg LinŐs approach to architecture
trough the new cyber-mediated space, and Nicholas Bourriaud and his
"relational aesthetics" where "THE ART PROCESS BECOMES A SPACE FOR
CONNECTEDNESS AND THE SOCIAL REALM BECOMES A CONTINUUM FOR INTER-ART-ION
