Hysterical Paroxysm Choir: Sonic Masturbation Workshop
S*MAC Forum, 90 min.
With: Nicol Rivera
Hysterical Paroxysm Choir is a theoretical and practical workshop derived from the artist’s previous work “Sexotechnologies and Technofeminist Performativities.” Here, the focus shifts toward creating a collective sound experiment: an exploration of our internal resonances, fluids, and pulsations, to hack the concept of hysteria through acts of sonic collective masturbation.
The workshop combines critical reflection and embodied practice, analyzing and reinterpreting performance works by women and feminist artists who engage with DIY and low-tech technologies. These practices are understood as decolonial and techno-feminist aesthetics, challenging the patriarchal structures embedded in conventional, normative, and privatized forms of technology.
Participants will be invited to explore their own bodily soundscapes through exercises of vocal, vibrational, and sensorial activation, culminating in a collective noise performance that celebrates hysteria, pleasure, and resonance as forms of resistance and creation.
