Medium: E-textiles, interactive performance | Year: 2022
Talking Vagina is an interactive performance connecting a headband of buttons to a speaker stitched onto the pelvic area of a garment. When a participant—or I—press a button, the vagina speaks pre-recorded lines like “I am a cutie and cuteness is in my DNA,” “I can play games and I like to win,” and “I earn money to get cuter and cuter.” The work personifies the vagina, letting it speak when my buttons are pushed—literally. This cyborg absurdly mocks the abuses of capitalist patriarchy.
