C’LICK ME
Public Display of Internet Pornography
2nd International Netporn Festival
Paradiso, Amsterdam – Saturday, 2 June 2007, 1pm to
5am

C’LICK ME is an event to investigate internet
pornography in a
non-conventional way. We are looking forward to a
queer event without
any
rigid queer correctness (as queer doesn’t always mean
good porn!). We
want
to re-think the society of the netporn spectacle: the
digital zeitgeist
that has given us a hypersexual body. What to do with
our bodies and
digital machines? Pornography has found its way into
every nook and
cranny
of the Internet, but how can we still be queer
radicals or body
artists,
private hedonists or fervent bloggers in this climate?
Do we still need
to
have a sanctified space like an underground or a
dungeon, when we
produce
desire with our floating networked bodies? Porn went
porn-chic years
ago.
Today netporn goes into Myspace bedrooms and everyday
“realcore”.

C’LICK ME is not only netporn displays, but strategies
of public
engagement and sharing thoughts about netporn. While
creating a
visibility
of desire, we try to experiment with a new
“invisibility” of
identities.
>From the era of queer communities, we move into the

culture of
crossbreed
pornography. Even amongst those horny mobs targeted by
the netporn
industry giants, people cherish their own queer
varieties. Netporn
means
the messy process of personal affections and anomalies
melting into the
databases of porn masses. In the era of pornification
of mainstream
imagery, there is no more society without netporn, but
a lot has to be
done to sexualize the critical “multitudes”. Queer and
net
activists,
theorists and artists once again gather in Amsterdam
to discuss the
growing pains of autonomous culture zones, but also
netporn as sexwork,
production of affective commodities and one of the
biggest global
markets.

C’LICK ME wants to create a networked debate,
continuing the
discourse
started with the first Netporn Conference in 2005 and
connecting to
other
experiences across Europe and elsewhere, like the Porn
Film festival
and
the Post Porn Politics symposium both held in Berlin
in 2006. What does
a
“post-porn politics” mean after entering the digital
realms of the
network
society? And what will be the destiny of the porn
genre in the age of
the
affective technologies? Before brainstorming the
dissolution of porn
into
commodities or its future explosion in global
conflicts, our specific
DIY
contribution is an anti-essentialist and intoxicated
event, with input
from new publics, with a nostalgic embrace of (post)
punk wet dreams
and
sex revolutions. Most of all, C’LICK ME invites you to
experience the
sexual evolution of the digital generation.

Your stimulators,
Katrien Jacobs, Matteo Pasquinelli and Marije Janssen
