Sex as Tech as Art

Links NSFW

Fleshbot and Boing Boing both blogged this artist last year, but somehow I missed it and I thought maybe some of you have too:

Futurotic

Using everyday technological appliances for their common association with masturbation and sexual stimulation: Futurotica presents a series of prototypes of customised domestic technology. Amplifying the ubiquitous and untapped mastarbatory fantasies found in everyday, off the shelf domestic items, as forms of technology that our bodies can relate to and interact with in unusual ways.

It's exactly for this kind of thing that the internet was invented. Else how would we learn about all these people paying homage to sex through art and tools?

Confess: Your ideas about what's "normal" or "ordinary" about sex have changed since you started poking around online. And probably have changed again and again – perhaps even swinging back to become more conservative, depending on where you've been in virtual space.
