UKI is conceived as a sequel to my cyberpunk feature I.K.U. I.K.U. tells the story of GENOM Corp, an internet porn
enterprise who dispatches I.K.U. coders to collect orgasm data. Made into mobilephone chip, GENOM introduces
orgasm on the go and makes a huge profit. In post-netcrash UKI, the data deprived I.K.U. coders are dumped on
the Etrashscape where coders, twitters, networkers crush and crashed. Exchanging sex for code, code sexing
code.
UKI performance video is collaboration with 18 Barcelona based queer/postporn performers, each creates and
performs her/them/his personna, utilizing etrash junk as costume and set. Trash Mistress [Radíe Manssour], UKI
