An orgasm machine, build in 12 days with donated and found materials at Mediamatic during the BEFtival: a 10 days festival celebrating female pleasure. Alongside the
machine Sam Nemeth presented his project, titled Lick Locus. Two experiences, one for her, one for him.
What is the border between torture and pleasure?
An Orgasm Machine, build in the tradition of Barbarella [1968], Woody Allen movies [1973] and the pseudo-science of Wilhelm Reich [1930] with a soundtrack made by the Amsterdam musicians Pasjenten [MMIO].
During the festival women were invited to have a private experience in the Orgasm Machine, after the artist gave an introduction and demonstration.
