LIBIDOT was brought alive by Katrien
Jacobs, scholar, artist and activist. Jacobs grew up in Belgium and
migrated to Ireland, the USA, and Australia in the early 1990s. Jacobs
currently teaches new media at Emerson College, Boston. She has lectured
widely on sexuality and the Internet, and organizes workshops around
web communities, avant-gardes and communication. She studied the1960s
and 1970s performance and theory movements in her Ph.D. dissertation
‘The Postmodern Return to Ritual Dismemberment’ (1996)
She currently works as a writer, curator and has published several
essays in anthologies and academic journals such as Parallax
and Cultural Studies. She is also
working on P.O.N.A, an irregularly sized book that highlights
twenty international
artists and their visions on sexuality and culture.For a full overview
of her work, see her curriculum
vitae or download the cv as pdf file.
LIBIDOT was partly funded by Emerson College’s Department
of Visual and Media Arts, the Institute of Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary
Studies, and a Faculty Advancement Grant. The LIBIDOT website was
designed in collaboration with Shun Liang and Jayne Carolow
