On Episode 01 of SXXTXCH LIVE, experimental artist and technologist Ani Liu (.liu.studio) and host discuss the attributes of a technology and what it means to consider the body as one. The conversation breaks down reproduction as a s*xual technology, the concept of wetware as a conceptual and computational system, and how technologies can embody a political agenda.

SXXTXCH LIVE—a podcast collaboration between Deem Journal and artist and technologist Mindy Seu—was recorded live at .space.new.york in October 2025. In six episodes, SXXTXCH LIVE brings together artists, scholars, s*x workers, historians, and journalists to consider the impact of s*xuality on technology, from innovating online to queering biotech, transforming markets to s*x ed, and beyond.

Stay tuned for the complete season—we’ll be dropping a new episode every two weeks!

What is SXXTXCH? Welcome to Episode 00, our series introduction with host Mindy Seu and executive editor Isabel Flower, who will share how SXXTXCH came to life as a weekend of live conversations and performances at .space.new york last fall. 

This preface to the forthcoming six part series will also expand on what we mean by “s*xual technology,” how many of the technologies we now take for granted emerged from s*x work, why all technology is embodied, and the drastic implications of legislation on life online. 

Stay tuned for the complete season—we’ll be dropping a new episode every two weeks through the middle of July! Stream it at the link in our bio.

Technology is embodied. Since the advent of our digital tools, s*xuality continues to shape how the internet is designed, experienced, and surveilled.

In collaboration with Deem, artist and technologist presents SXXTXCH LIVE—a podcast series recorded live .space.new.york in October 2025.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing six episodes that bring together artists, scholars, s*x workers, historians, and journalists to consider the impact of s*xuality on technology, from innovating online to queering biotech, transforming markets to s*x ed, and beyond.

Immense thanks to our host, Performance Space New York, and to everyone who enabled this experience to come to life and to be documented in this series.
