| In the midst of an increasingly polarized debate about the
role of fundamentalism in modern society, The
Sacred Antinous paradoxically uses the language
and structure of organized religion to take a deliberate stand

and interrogated through the character of the beautiful youth,
Antinous – an historical figure made famous on account
of his divinization at the hands of his lover, the Roman Emperor
Hadrian. |
As the western world careens toward the mainstreaming of porn,
few are looking seriously at how sexually explicit images can
be integrated into storytelling with literary intent. Sir
Richard Wadd uses uncensored graphics, artful verse,
and independent theatre production to create an alternate reality
in which gay pornography is at once unsightly and inspiring. |
The
Delphic Oracle is an online tribute to the Oracle
of Apollo at Delphi.
An experiment in super-small-scale writing, this website
invites users to ask a question of the oracle and receive
an answer. Interpretation is up to the visitor! |
