Pleasure is a successful prototype I am interested in revisiting it in the future.

The image is an individual who identifies as queer + non-binary. The goal of this project was to explore the different ways to anonymously represent sex. Using bio-mapping Arduino technology I recorded the heart rates of individuals & couples during sex + masturbation (all of whom were consenting volunteers over the age of 18 & were in the privacy of their own homes). The results were digital “paintings” made by inputting the heart rate data into the program Processing & writing a short code to create the painting.

All consensual sex is beautiful & I wanted to show the beauty of the experience independent of any stereotypes, heteronormative bs, misogyny or prejudice.
