Mindy Seu’s A SEXUAL HISTORY OF THE INTERNET is an embodied reimagining of our digital tools. The performance gathers anecdotes, artworks, and historical artifacts that reveal the pervasive and perverted origins of digital tools. In this interactive lecture, audience members will become a chorus of readers that recite lesser-known histories through a shared script on their mobile phones. Part history, part experiment in collective storytelling, the performance entangles sexuality and techno-development, innovation and autonomy, lust and extraction. — Mindy Seu

This participatory performance requires a mobile device with the Instagram app installed. Audience members will be invited to read aloud in English. The performance contains explicit references to sex and sexual assault.

After the performance, there will be a talk featuring Mindy Seu.
