soaps & self-esteem

Read in the paper the other day that women's self-esteem is not increased by breast implants. Insightful - how do they arrive at such insights? Implants and other cosmetic surgery remind me of Cinderella's ugly and wicked sisters maiming themselves to fit into Cinderella's shoes, desperately seeking the Prince's approval - a happy foreverafter. And cosmetics - be it a pill, an injection, an incision or an implant - is still nothing but cosmetics - cosmetics of social approval.

About the site

freewheelin.nu is a site where e-lit, installations, digital art, blogs and other texts are linked in a hyperdimensional space of underpasses, highways, rivers, bridges, tunnels that intersect in the art project Plastic Spaces whenever possible.

And there is more. Image music text and technology intertwined in digital art and textual [dis]pleasures - in the erratic vibrancy, evanescence and intangibility of the text/work - that interfaces with the erotic body [electrified].
