We discuss the influence of Georges Bataille on erotic art, the political stakes of sex work in an increasingly censorious cultural climate, and the boundaries between pornography and artistic expression. Vex shares insights into her creative process, the resurgence of the "mommy" archetype, and how erotic filmmaking can challenge dominant narratives about sex and power. We also examine the impact of digital platforms on intimacy, censorship, and the shifting landscape of desire. ig: @vextape Support the show Support the podcast: Current classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-main Website: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizon Acid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3Qxn Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 Merch: http://www.crit-drip.com Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHAND Happy Hour at Hippel's (Adam’s blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com Split Infinities (Craig’s Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/ Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
