The scenes that will form the body of Cybercarnival will be inspired by and drawn from a erotic sci-fi anthology titled 'Cybersex: Aliens, Neurosex and Cyborgasms' by Richard Glyn JOnes.
Published in 1996, and ranging from a vengeful woman murdering her ex-husband in virtual reality to international missions to impregnate extraterrestrial species, These erotic episodes draw from the sci-fi imaginations of the 1990's. influenced by early interactions with the internet and digital technology, the stories feel dated and fantastical. By situating contemporary conversations about the 'metaverse', digital culture and cybercarnality in the fantasies of a proto-cyber age, the result is a performance that is entertaining and provocative without becoming laboured or cringeworthy.
