Deem Journal

Technology is embodied. Since the advent of our digital tools, s*xuality continues to shape how the internet is designed, experienced, and surveilled.

In collaboration with Deem, artist and technologist presents SXXTXCH LIVE—a podcast series recorded live .space.new.york in October 2025.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing six episodes that bring together artists, scholars, s*x workers, historians, and journalists to consider the impact of s*xuality on technology, from innovating online to queering biotech, transforming markets to s*x ed, and beyond.

Immense thanks to our host, Performance Space New York, and to everyone who enabled this experience to come to life and to be documented in this series.

Designing for Dignity 03: A Convening of Possibilities was shaped by our community — your presence, participation, and generosity of spirit. The energy, the conversations, and the love in that room are what keep us pushing forward, dreaming bigger, and seeking new avenues of expression.
To be in that space together cannot be taken lightly. We are deeply grateful to every person who continues to show up, grow with us, and build this alongside us.
Footage from the convening was filmed and edited by Brian Crawford ().
Full programming from 10/25/25 is now streaming on YouTube.
