Play4usnow



Performance, Installation, Happening

Play4usnow was the third installament of the ‘cybopticon series’. This project deals with ‘data domination’.
artists esben holk and stephanie telomere and internet activist and artist lena chen are interested in the topic of sex work and the commodification of intimacy and identity in the digital age.
"dominatrix, cam models, and submissives unite in play4usnow, a multiplayer game with a unique price of entry: their privacy. meet real-life sex workers who explore dating as a mode of domination and submission, while you - the player - fuel your desires with their information, attention, and quid pro quo. navigate sexy pop-ups and captchas to find the secret entrance to a password-encrypted digital dungeon. surrender to the control of targeted algorithms, social media conditioning, and hypnotizing gifs. play4usnow holds a mirror up to the digitization of identity and holds you as a hostage until you reveal your thoughts, emotions, and secrets. indulge in the hot new fetish that will change your relationship to technology, sex, and capital. the durational performance runs from october 21 to november 4 - online and also at weltkunstzimmer starting 10/30.
