  • ‘BEAT SCREEN’: Exhibition //


‘Beat Screen’ is a postporn research and art project by Aranza Cortés Karam that explores the potential of reappropriating the technological and pornographic devices to resist hegemonic powers.


By destroying hardware, she unfolds the erotic possibilities of encounters with different devices, tools and machines. Through exercises and performances where she dismantles, undoes, breaks, damages and destroys obsolete hardware and digital objects, the artist experiments with the pleasure of subverting our complex relationship with technology. This exploration, enunciated from cross-border and violent geopolitics, wonders about the accesses and limits through which we relate to/with/through technology, economy, pornography and bodies. At the same time, it offers alternative ways in which the audience is compelled to transform from users/consumers into agents. In this sense, ‘Beat Screen’ is a sexy and uncomfortable reminder to play with art, sex and technology. First for the sake of pleasure and then for the immense liberating potential that lies in them.


No functioning devices were wasted in this project. Every destroyed hardware has been donated or found to be “trash”. In a battle against technophobia, dare to fuck with technology.
