Come one, come all

The inaugural art festival dedicated to the art and science of modern flirting will commence April 5th, 2017 at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY. SextingAF will explore modern flirting and sexuality through the lens of technology and the ubiquitous camera-equipped devices which pepper our daily lives.

The festival will be a one-day immersion experience featuring presentation, art, imagery, interaction and social connection, all focused on technology and sexuality.

SextingAF will feature sexting art by you, music by DJ Pony, and entertaining presentations by Thrillist’s GiGi Engle, ByeFelipe’s Alexandra Tweten, NS-FW’s Daniel Saynt, social historian Stuart Ewen, artist Anna Gensler, psychologist Emily Stasko, journalist Jane Mulkerrins, and more. Questions? Hit us up.

Submit to us

We want images, texts, video and audio featuring the best and the worst sexts that you have sent or received. We want any and all examples of modern arousal, flirting, keeping the fire alive and when it goes over the line.

We enforce a strict no shaming policy. If there is a face in your submission, please upload an additional picture (yours or your ‘friend’) which includes your face and the current date as proof of consent to be judged in the festival. You can always take a pic next to todays-date.net.

We want to feature as many works of Sexting art in the festival. A selection of these will be awarded ‘Best in Show’ and printed up for showcase and sale at the festival. If they sell, you get half the profits, the rest will be donated to Planned Parenthood.

You can elect out of display at the festival if you are too shy to see your sext exist in the real world.

So let’s do this

Upload the highest quality file you got.

If you’re having issues or your file is over 10MB of goodness, get in touch.

If any faces are visible in your submission, upload a photo of each face featuring today’s date.

I would not like my submission displayed or sold in the gallery.

Our deepest secrets

SextingAF was born out of many conversations over drinks through recent years. We recognized that Sexting was a topic that kept rearing it’s fuzzy little head in discussions about dating, marriage, app hook-ups, male desperation and the evolving media landscape.

First, we formed a curatorial committee.

Then, we got to work finding some kickass speakers and gathering examples of sexts of all kinds, styles and mediums. We realized there was a void in the social conversation, analysis and the display of a wide spectrum of work put out there and the discussion which generates from these. We are comfortable enough to share ourselves in these provocative ways, we should also celebrate them.

We are all professionals in the media, PR, arts, marketing, and technology industries. The committee includes Sam Travis Ewen, Sean Reckwerdt, Dina Fierro, Heather Park, Jason Kapler, Jane Mulkerrins, Corey Kindberg, Shaun Hudson, Tom Hallaran, Meghan Halligan, Letica Sampedro, Jacob Ford, Jung Lee, Lisa Milgram, Marni Wandner, and Aparna Mukherjee.
