Better Than Real? Sex, Power, and Desire in XR
Location:Gaston BergerTrack:Ethics and Social Issues
- Ethical Storytelling
- Living the Virtual
This conversation explores how XR transforms experiences of sexual presence, identity, and intimacy from the perspective of the user. When physical bodies are no longer fixed, and environments, partners, and interactions can be constructed or altered, desire is no longer constrained by biology, social norms, or physical limitations.
These practices are not just reflective; they are productive: shaping new sexual imaginaries, aesthetics, and norms.
