Noise from the Matrix

Nicol Rivera

post-porno noise performance

Noise from the Matrix is a performance that through the use of a contact microphone creates an atmosphere of post-porno and noise. The action aims to generate a sound protest through the action of female masturbation and thus raise the voice of our disputed territory: a dissident body that cries out for the right to pleasure and its freedom of action in this political territory. 

This is because in days of revolt, it becomes necessary to bring out the voice of our womb from the hidden, to make its essence sound, to disturb the territory that has been subjected by the patriarchy to the reproductive task for capitalist purposes. Today, we women have said enough is enough, my body is a territory that responds first and foremost to pleasure and enjoyment and not to compulsory reproduction.
