The Art and Politics of Netporn » katrien jacobs
gotta love when posts from other people job my memory and send me on a reading binge. I’m so easily distracted by good sex geekery.
Right. I’ll just paste in the comment I left for Danny:
Oh! I know Katrien! She’s fabulous. I met her a few years ago when she curated an event called C’lick Me in Amsterdam (June 2007) - there’s an anthology of writings that she co-edited after the conference. It’s called C’Lick Me: A Netporn Studies Reader. Available as a free PDF here: http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/portal/publications/inc-readers/the-art-and-politics-of-netporn/(extra Audacia trivia: I took this pic for my C’lick Me talk, and it’s my all time most viewed pic on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wakingvixen/529212435/)](http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_koloxw3Q1a1qz5stvo1_400.gif)
