pangender cyborgs, cocks on buildings

Seriously, if last month’s penis-thieving stories from Africa didn’t cut through your transjournalistic immune system, this won’t either. Madrid artist Jaime del Val is walking around the city, projecting his dick onto public buildings, claiming “it is a means of power”. At least he’s right about that. According to the Metro, Mr del Val actually claims to have a serious message to promote as a self-identified ‘pangender cyborg’. He says his visual actions are part of a multi-protest against homophobia, surveillance, control and consumer society. (via boingboing gadgets, via metro)

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, an alternative community portal for some, a media experiment for him. DJ'd and organized for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights, the VK/jrock Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Key figure behind the cyberpunk PDF magazine THE DOSE and he's making a comeback with it.

He's currently an IT/science journalist, with a love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee and chili, eyecandy, Japan and a life-long devotion to all things cyberpunk & slipstream.
