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
