The wonderful folks over at Arse Elektronika already have the mp3s form their conference up on their website! So we can share our talk with you, and we'd love, love, love to have your feedback on it, so post a comment here!

The focus of our talk was on looking at the notion of the real in radical porn, and how deciding what bodies are real and are not may exclude some people. We propose that perhaps we can talk more about power dynamics in porn, as a qualifier of what makes it radical, instead of talking about who is real and who isn't. We propose that porn performers should have complete control and final say over the final product.

But we also said a lot more than that! So give it a look and a listen and let us know what you think!
