The Office for ... A Sexual History of the Internet

OCA invites you to the performance 'A Sexual History of the Internet' by the artist and technologist Mindy Seu.
'A Sexual History of the Internet' 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 this 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.
Mindy Seu (b. 1991, California) is an artist and technologist based in Los Angeles and New York City whose practice focuses on technology-driven performance and publication. 'A Sexual History of the Internet' (2025) follows her first book 'Cyberfeminism Index' (2023), a pseudo-encyclopedia that gathers three decades of online activism and net art, which was commissioned by Rhizome, premiered at the New Museum, and awarded a Graham Foundation Grant. Mindy is currently teaching as an Associate Professor at University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Design Media Arts.

‘The Office for…’ is a new series of artistic and discursive programmes exploring what might be possible if the criteria of ‘contemporary art’ are displaced, temporarily, by alternative frameworks which open up for a multitude of perspectives in one of events such as talks, gatherings, lectures, workshops, screenings, etc. OCA invites people, initiatives, institutions, and organisations that are contributing and inspiring to expand the possibilities of thought, knowledge, and action throughout the planet.
