Patrick O'Riley is a Digital Anthropologist at The Dock Innovation Hub, part of Accenture. We had the chance to ask about what exaxtly is "Digital Anthropology", and quickly took the opportunity to make the conversation "darker" - that is, to include the unavoidably central concepts of sex, violence and death into the mix. The result is a fast-paced, concept-rich brainstorm of a conversation.
Here we talk about everything from gay conservatives secretly browsing grinder to the fact that the shape of Pornweb is the shape of shame, and how we are entering the Cthulucene - the era when the unspeakable monsters of our unconscious acquire a body made out of ones and zeroes.
