Bio:

Simone Orgel is a Berlin based digital strategist, strategic communications consultant and artist focusing on participation processes and community building in the digital space.
Driven by the question on ICTs can serve communities, she accompanies digital development processes and speaks on the topics of digital society and innovation. She studied Communication in Social and Economic Contexts at the Berlin University of the Arts as well as the University of Toronto and has worked as a communications expert for several public and private institutions. Until May 2023 she was leading the non-profit association Wikimedia Germany 's department Communitys, Society and Politics and until December 2017 she was Head of Project & International Relations at re:publica .

Simone's current art project Bing({‘})h is a playful artistic anthropology of sexual representation in both language and image, which aims to reduce the taboos and paradoxes surrounding the depiction of female sexuality.

Trans* Inter*- Personen werden immer präsenter in der medialen Berichterstattung.

Andererseits rücken transgeschlechtliche Menschen damit noch stärker in den Fokus neurechter Bewegungen.

Artist Talk & Workshop: Fotzüglich, it's BingOh time! Welcome to Fun. Fuck. And Foucault revisited.

Fusion Festival {June 2019}, artist talk & workshop:
Back in 1977, the sociologist Michelle Foucault shaped the expression "sexuality dispositive" in order to describe the central role of sexuality within power: Sexuality not only affects the individual, but sexuality also controls the population. 40 years later "The race to create the ultimate AI sex partner" is on and at the very same time the debate on women's sexual self-determination is in full swing as the disputes on the right to abort demonstrates. What is our current sexuality dispositive? What does sexual-determination in terms of a rising demand for labiaplasties, or interventions that alter the size and shape of the inner or outer labia?

This interactive session revisits Foucault and aims to playfully break down boundaries with the help of Bing({‘})h – a vulva bingo we can play.
