About this Event

“A Sexual History of the Internet” is a participatory lecture performance and artist book by Mindy Seu. It reveals the pervasive and perverted origins of our digital tools. How have technologies shaped and been shaped by sexuality? Together, we will examine the relationships between techno-development and sexuality, innovation and autonomy, lust and extraction.
In the participatory lecture performance, citations are read aloud by you, the audience, through a shared script on your mobile device. It is a performance of re-citation.
This Instagram-Stories-as-Lecture format was first conceived of by Julio Correa in Seu’s Lecture Performance studio course (Fall 2023) at Yale School of Art. Seu further developed this format, in collaboration with Correa, for “A Sexual History of the Internet.”
Reigstration for this event is required as seating is limited. Doors open at 7 p.m. Performance begins at 7:30 p.m. No late entry permitted.
Please note:
- This performance includes explicit references to sex, sexual assault and nudity.
- This performance will take place in a dark room with bright, flashing lights.
