“in the penal colony” was supposed to be like a virtual catalogue for a masochist/fetishist of electricity. the inevitable analogue of whip and connecting cable. the title ‘penal colony’ is -of course!- reference to kafka. we exists only as we are connected to the other circuits, to the other machines. relationship of body and electricity in the circuits of desire – there are only two main modes, basic binaries: on/off, play/stop, spiel/spannung, pleasure/pain, fascination/neurosis. body as the battlefield for biopolitical processes.
