The Sociobiology of Netporn returns with another chapter on Readings of Anthropocentric Fitness Regimes through Analysis of Pornographic Genres as Survival Mechanisms. Having already covered Extremes: A General Theory and LoveSex/LoveDeath nonophilia, this is now an extrapolation from sperm competition survival strategies promoting masturbation in strangers, into the AI bubble rereadin porn a tool, beyond maximizing human biomass diversity into a novel residual, as self relective AI fetishism, multiplying obsessions based on glitch, bias and ahuman transgressions. Where is the psychic cloaca in the machine? This is a case of an interpolatice machine learning becoming an array of fetishisms, i.e. algorithmic monomanias based on indecisivness and censored keywords, stack based neural cortex misfires programming syntax errors into contextual AI paraphilic noise, and, hence, the cloud Birth of Algorithmic Fetish Multiplier.
Adam Zaretsky, Ph.D., is a former researcher at MIT's Department of Biology and an experimental bioartist with over a decade of teaching experience. His art practice critically explores the legal, ethical, social, and libidinal implications of biotechnological materials and methods, with a particular focus on transgenic humans. Known for his engaging, hands-on bioart labs, Zaretsky creates dynamic spaces for bioart production.
He has led the VivoArts experimental bioart class at institutions including San Francisco State University (SFSU), SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia (UWA), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), The Arts and Genomic Centre (TAGC) at Leiden University, and the Waag Society. He is the Head of Research at Nadlinc (since 2016) and a Research Consultant at BEAK (since 2022) in New York. Since 2024, he has been a Visiting Professor at the Department of Audio & Visual Arts at the Ionian University, where he also serves as the Creative Director of TTTlabs and TTTfellows in the "Rewilding Cultures" project (2022-2026), part of the Feral Lab Network, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
