Book presentation / Austria

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It is our pleasure and privilege to present you 
with the first Arse Elektronika Anthology: "pr0nnovation?"

 From the depiction of a vulva in a cave painting 
to the newest internet porno, technology and 
sexuality have always been closely linked. No one 
can predict what the future will bring, but 
history indicates that sex will continue to play 
an essential role in technological development. 
Is it going too far to assume that research in 
nanotechnology and genetic engineering will be 
influenced by our sexual needs? The question is 
not whether these technologies alter humanity, but how they do so.
