Pornhub to Stage Satiric Art Installation 'Pornhub Nation' in LA

LOS ANGELES—Leading adult tube site Pornhub today announced plans to open an interactive art installation, dubbed “Pornhub Nation,” in Los Angeles on July 14. Designed and executed by artists Maggie West and Ryder Ripps, the 3,000-square-foot, month-long exhibit will depict a futuristic, utopian society formed by Pornhub and feature multiple exhibits playing on government branches and bureaucratic organizations. “Today, Pornhub receives over 90 million daily visitors. Considering the exponential rate at which we are growing, maybe it wouldn’t be totally out of the question to see a Pornhub-themed utopian society formed by the year 2069,” Pornhub vice president Corey Price said. “Pornhub Nation will serve to epitomize what this futuristic society could look like and provides an immersive experience for our fans to enjoy firsthand. As they make their way through the imaginary world, visitors will be to experience it, play with it and interact with it. So make sure you purchase a ticket and check it out.” Pornhub Nation consists of a seven room experience, featuring multiple exhibits designed by West and Ripps. The tour begins with the National Gallery, which will feature a collage of marquee lights and neon signs, as well as portraits of "Pornhub Nation Presidents" Asa Akira, Riley Reid, Abella Danger and Joanna Angel; the National Sexurity ASSociation (NSA), a fully mirrored room featuring eight security cameras with feeds from other exhibits, providing visitors with a preview of what lay ahead; the Domination Masochistic Vroomvroom (DMV), a cross between a BDSM dungeon and a beaucratic government office; the National Silicon Reserve (NSR), featuring a ball pit; ASSA, Pornhub Nation’s space exploration program devoted solely to exploring zero gravity space sex featuring intergalactic plants; IRS featuring an IRShub virtual reality game through which visitors can sort out their finances; and lastly, the National Garden, which incorporates ASSA’s intergalactic plants into a surreal looking jungle lounge. “Pornhub Nation imagines the world in 2069, where attention grabbing eye-candy dominates the visual landscape and a milieu where sexuality runs free," co-creator Ryder Ripps explained. "As a frequent user of Pornhub's fantastic services, both within my 'art' and 'personal' practices, this project has been a lot of fun and ontologically stimulating. Come for the innate desire for human procreation, stay for the infinity mirrors and ball pit.”  In addition to the aforementioned exhibits, Pornhub Nation will feature photographs taken by West and Ripps of over 20 of the top porn performers as various characters playing roles of Presidents, DMV agents, aliens and ASSA scientists, among others. Pornhub Nation will also feature a gift shop for visitors to purchase a medley of Pornhub products, including apparel and select gifts. “Over the last few months, we worked with Pornhub to create an interactive fantasy world with alien sex plants, DMV sex dungeons and Presidents who will proudly stand behind their secret sex tapes," West said. "Pornhub Nation is a sexy, neon drenched utopia where we can escape the banality our everyday lives. It has been so much fun working with the industry's top performers to create the story of this new world. Who knows, maybe we will see Abella Danger as President in 2069.”  Pornhub Nation will be open to the public for one month beginning on July 14. Following the premiere, the installation will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. until August 18. It will be located at 4067 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90019.
