Listen in as Issy Knowles, the creator & performer of Body Count, discusses imploding and exploding your work, putting a feminist lens on porn, clicking with your collaborators, how online sex culture bleeds back into society, the commodification of intimacy, audience involvement, and the ongoing loneliness of this modern world.

“I think what’s interesting is everybody in this scenario is actually being dehumanized…not just the girls who are hosting, and participating, but the men that are also participating, they are being dehumanized, they are just a number in the queue. So everyone wins! But everyone loses. They get what they came for, but at what cost?”
