Akkam’s Razor

Via BoingBoing.

The Art and Politics of Netporn is the first major international conference on netporn criticism. It will present multiple perspectives on our growing immersion in pornographic web-based media. A second aim of the conference is to discuss the potential of art and critical research in times of heightened information surveillance, filtering and censorship. The selected research presentations and art projects regard netporn as complex networks, with impact and growth, just as industries and/or indie media operations. Conference presenters will address the ’schizo’ climate of hype and censorship, focusing on the ethics and aesthetics of digital media environments and (female and male) activities such as blogging, webcamming, chatting, p2p porn, live journals, confession boards, mailing lists and zines.

So few people realize how indebted the internet is to pornagraphy. This seems pretty interesting. They also have a wiki, a del.icio.us account, and a mailing list. Whether "they" like it or not, porn will continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
