Nudity in Digital Performance: Reappraising the Early Online Works of Annie Sprinkle and Frank Moore

Sant, Toni

Abstract

The early online works of American artists Annie Sprinkle and Frank Moore, presented separately, draw heavily on their own art practice in terms of method, beyond the specific erotic content they produced, which was not too different from their offline work. Throughout the 1990s, Sprinkle and Moore blurred the boundaries between art and erotica to expand their own work to include the internet as an essential component of their performances. They elaborated on the use of concepts popularized in the art world through artist books for close to a century before the rise of digital technology.
