Frieze Magazine | Archive | Bright Eyes: Getting under the skin of the furry world

  • Frieze Magazine | Archive | Bright Eyes: Getting under the skin of the furry world – I get confused about where the furry world stops and the rest of us begin. Maybe the profligate democracy of the internet has made it impossible to write po-faced ethnographies of ‘subcultures’. (The likelihood that more people are impersonating otters than reading this magazine does take the wind out of one’s sails.) Conversations about Japanese anime, Javascript and The X-Files are just as likely to take place at art openings as science fiction conventions. Bondage techniques can be downloaded at the local library. We’re all geeks now, all perverts. And if some of us are dressed as animals, who’s going to object?
