A SEXUAL HISTORY OF THE INTERNET is a project in two parts: (1) a participatory lecture performance and (2) an artist book. It reveals the pervasive and perverted origins of our digital tools. In the performance, these histories and citations will be read aloud by you, the audience, through a shared script on your mobile device. It is a performance of re-citation.

More details to come.

We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
