Panel Discussion with Artist Jill Miller with Art Historians Jennie Klein and Natalie Loveless, and Media Scholar Nicole Starosielski (moderator)

A discussion of eco-punishment and bottoming. Artists and art historians ask: can performance art be used as a corrective mechanism? Is there a place for queer sexualities, kink, and sado-masochistic drives in environmental retribution?

In conjunction with HARD RESET
Hard Reset is a performance project, sculpture, and video installation by artist Jill Miller, which employs the ritualized punishments of sado-masochism as instruments of retributive justice in the face of environmental destruction, playfully asking: Is it possible to make the people who profit from digital technologies accountable for the ecological devastation they cause through the erotic disciplining of the body?
