Place: Beton Hala Theater, Kraljice Natalije 3, Beograd, Serbia

Date: 17th of April 2008 at 21:00

Participants on stage: Three Serbian men (anonymous), two Serbian doctors and Stahl Stenslie

Audience: 50 +

Duration: 35 minutes

Music: “Go Forth and Fuck” by Cumshots (N)

Situation: A non erotic atmosphere was created to test if the mental dimension could be overridden by physical stimulus. All lights were on in the theatre, loud deathmetal music was being played, the stage all in sterile white, the three men/test-candidates all draped in three layers of white cloth (inner), a national flag (middle) and white cloth (outer). The two doctors successively tested all three candidates by first cutting through the cloth to expose the penis, then by applying the orgasmotron to the frenulum of the penis. Several frequencies and amplitudes were tested at each penis

Result: No ejaculation. Signs of erection was seen. Afterwards the candidates reported being stressed by the situation and comments heard from the audience.

Reminiscence: The three flags, the medical uniform and visual documentation

Future adaptions: Artgasm is a practice based art-science project and will continue to gather data. Next performance will be done in a more private atmosphere were the candidates are together with the doctors in a separate chamber. The performance will be transmitted in real time to the audience.
