[appropriation] via "save as"+ screen-capturing / [remixxxing] via databending >>> [producing] && [problemizing] distribution and consumption {of porn} via dirty new media DIY practices focusing on professional and amateur players in the realm of cyber sex && pornography, the various (sub)-realities canalized&connected&&defined by communication toolz & peculiar languages influenced by the ever growing and dynamic and and shapeshifting inter(net)worked social/political//economical///technological scenarios.

XXX Introduction XXX r3d L!nK D!$tR!cT is a «DIRTY»#REMIX version of some gifs from my other projects #PIRATEPORNOMATERIAL/1&2 (see slides 5 & 6), a selection of pornographic contents found online. The original works were gifs running on various Tumblr’s pages that I searched with Google using the search word #PORNGIF. Placing a computer screen on the scanner of a Canon MG5150, I scanned the gifs as they played on the screen. Once I saved the scanned files, I then converted those from .pdf and .jpg into .raw, .tif, .bmp and databended them using Audacity 2.1.0 and GoldWave V5.7. In Audacity I have installed a series of plugins (LADSPA, Nyquist and VST). I then selected some frames to make gifs with PhotoScape and then I uploaded all of them on the world wild web on this link http://redlinkdistrict.tumblr.com There is also a video version available on the link https://vimeo.com/120950731 To make the video I first recorded and saved as .avi each gif (played with Irfanview) using GifCam. I then databended each .avi file with Audacity and GoldWave, same version of those mentioned above. The final video was edited using Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 (64-bit).

I wished to make porn loops accessible via URL (browser) and QR-Code (stickers) for tablet and smartphone screens, the new peep show digital mobile devices, approaching gifs as Stan Brakhage approached films and approach porn as Lasse Braun did it producing film loops but, this is not the golden age of porn, Red Link District, as well as Pirate Porno Material 1&&2, are gif loops from the dark age of porn.
