Sex times Esquire equals a lesbian expose on the cover
Author: Simon Sellars • Nov 14th, 2008 •Category: Ballardosphere, sexual politics, technology
From Esquire (UK edition), October 2008:
Hans Ulrich Obrist. Formulas for Now.
What do you get if you multiply sex by technology? The future (according to JG Ballard, in this book). Obrist, co-director of the Serpentine Gallery, asked creatives and academics to invent a formula that summed up modern life: Jeff Koons, Richard Dawkins and Damien Hirst were among those to oblige. Out now.
