On September 30 and October 1, 2005 the first academic conference on netporn was held in Amsterdam. It was organized by the Institute of Network Cultures, Katrien Jacobs and Matteo Pasquinelli. The Art and Politics of Netporn presented multiple perspectives on our growing immersion in pornographic web-based media. Furthermore, it discussed the potential of art and critical research in times of heightened information surveillance, filtering and censorship.
