Work
Dani Ploeger's artwork focuses on the human body in connection to technology, sexuality and consumer culture.[2]
His work frequently addresses issues connected to sexuality and technology. In ELECTRODE, an anal electrode connected to an EMG sensor is used to replicate the sphincter contraction pattern of a masturbating experimental subject.[3] His work Ascending Performance features a Super 8 film of the naked artist and can be downloaded from MiKandi, an adult app store for Android phones.[4] The sexually explicit and technology-critical aspects of Ploeger's work have led to some controversies and both amused and fierce media responses. He has been described as a 'post-Stelarc' artist and the 'Jimi Hendrix of the Sphincter'.[5] Music critic Andy Hamilton has stated that there are "two assholes too many" in Ploeger's performance ELECTRODE[6] and the German newspaper Der Freitag has suggested that he 'abuses gender criticism to inflate something as art'[7]
Ploeger has created pieces addressing consumer culture and electronic waste, including Recycled Coil (2014), as part of which a body piercer installed a cathode ray television coil in Ploeger's abdomen for Art Hack Day Berlin,[8] and the installation Back to Sender (2013–14), a collaboration with Nigerian performance artist Jelili Atiku. It consists of a pile of broken European electronic appliances which were collected on dump sites in Lagos, Nigeria, and subsequently sent back to Europe.[2] In writing, interviews and public talks, Ploeger has critiqued consumption and planned obsolescence of digital devices,[9][10] the technological utopianism of artists such as Stelarc and Atau Tanaka,[11] and the sexualization of naked bodies in media culture[5] He performed at Arse Elektronika in San Francisco, where his sex tech performance installations involved medical consumer technologies and explored themes around the technologized body, sexuality and vanity.
