The Internet has opened the door into our most private spaces and virtuality has infiltrated our bodies, merging reality and fiction. The first cam-girls of the 90s were important early examples of how the internet could create a cyborg subject by integrating human images with the internet, setting the conversation regarding the relationship between technology, gender and digital performance. However with the advent of the 21st century the cyberfeminist view of the Internet as a space of liberation for women and marginalized communities has resumed the classical oppressive structures of the offline space. In this context sex workers have found new spaces and possibilities for interactions and business, developing creative strategies to surive and thrive. 

By challenging this space of contraddictions, Syntia_CAM is born. She* is a hybrid, an alien, a sex worker, neither fully human nor fully machine. With a touch of playfulness, she* uses technology to create multiple identities, negotiate rates, share experiences and new forms of agency. Are you ready to witness?

PERFORMANCE 

The project  Syntia_CAM  wants to challenge and hack the stereotypes and stigmas related to the sex industr Working together with sex workers, a series of scenarios and fictional characters has been co-created in a workshop setting. Following the principles of ethno-mimesis, the project involves the combination of ethnographic and collaborative methods and the subsequent production of digital art performance to represent experience. The aim is to create a collaborative and inclusive process that centers the voices and experiences of sex workers.
