Independent media artist Teresa Ascencao is calling for female identified, of age of majority contributors for her artistic project Euphoric Femme.
Euphoric Femme is a series of audio-visual artworks inspired by sex-positive feminism, and which explore women’s sexual subjectivity through non-objective media art experiences. The artworks are created in artistic collaboration with people who identify as women and want to explore and reinvent sexual expression and representation.
Contributors are asked to photograph themselves or record the sound whilst they are self-pleasuring. The images and sounds will then be edited and transformed into unrecognisable audio-visual content for the project.
The project will be realised both online and as an exhibited installation. The video above shows the prototype of the audience-engaged interactive installation, in which visitors trigger kaleidoscope-like videos and meditative sounds.
If you would like to be part of this project please visit the Euphoric Femme website for more information.

This creative mix of bodily sounds to make music was broadcasted by the Night Air, on ABC Radio National. Coughs, sneezes, heartbeats, laughs and whistles combine to make an anatomical soundscape. A lovely free aural compliment to the erotic symphony of orgasm we shared on SonicErotica this week.
The REAL Vagina Monologue is taking place in Montreal, Canada on Thursday 18 November. At the Magic Sound Box, a recurring live art performance, you can sit in the dark, in an enclosed space and listen to radio from inside the box. If this intimate listening space isn’t enough for you, at the 3rd Magic Sound Box event, the sounds you will be listening to were made by Jess MG, a contact microphone and her vagina.
“Basically I shove a microphone up my petunia, masturbate and record it,†she reveals. “Recently I started using a contact microphone so it picks up the vibrations in the vagina. I’m still experimenting and processing the audio but let’s just say I was pleasantly surprised to hear that my vagina made less of a squishy sound than a rumble in a dark velvet room sound.”
Seems like the Magic Sound Box would be the perfect environment to experience this audio. Get along:

If you can’t make it, you can hear the delightfully surprising free recording as part of this podcast from sex positive radio show Audio Smut, which airs on CKUT 90.3 FM. Also included in this podcast are interesting discussions on the sounds of sexual pleasure and sex sound politics in share-housing, music made by charting a woman’s fertility cycle and some telephone dirty talk.
