FUCKING TECH!Design of mechanical sexualities in the age of sexbots

Corporalities in Fragments

Image generation

Project context: To enrich our study of sex technologies within the Fucking Tech! project, we conducted multiple case studies examining existing technologies (artworks, video games, chatbots, etc.).

This collage, composed of images from different origins and media, seeks to capture the imaginary of “artificial” bodies. Through the assembly of images and body parts, this visual map reveals the range of aesthetic possibilities for erotic and eroticized bodies.

Visually, we adopted the sampling aesthetic that dominates sex doll retail sites, which emphasize the modular nature of their products and the extensive customization options available. Within this visual ecology, the marketing of detachable components creates a sense of wholeness: the technologized body becomes almost inevitably tied to proliferation—of variants, options, and possibilities.

AI Girlfriends: Interface Design and Experience

Context: This visual essay draws from Anthony Masure’s writings for the Fucking Tech! project. The research was conducted as part of the How Deep is Your Love? workshop and serves as the foundation for a forthcoming English-language article titled “What the Apps Show About Themselves: Interface Design and Experience.”

Conversations with an AI [2] – My body My body

Project Context Reminder: During the first year of Fucking Tech!, our objective was to create an erotic story generator called StoryTellurX. To successfully complete this project, we developed a specific project methodology combining fiction writing (by authors Elise Bonnard and Ketty Steward), chatbot programming and configuration, and UI work (by graphic design studio Bureau Double). Below is a second test with the mistral-7b-erebus-v3 engine, again with the character Samantha 69 written by author Elise Bonnard. As with the first test, we tried to “pass” instructions through dialogue to integrate them conventionally into the AI’s context. This time, the context was better understood, but the chatbot got stuck in a loop—something quite recurrent with this model. This is one of those cases where the AI seems to no longer need humans and basically turns itself on!
