Sexyshock is a communication laboratory that works on political
language. To do so Sexyshock have use, also the hacking way,
destructuring words and languages, mixing and matching situations and
concept and practices; for reinventing the political language and for
being more incisive on a vast level of communication. Sexyshock was the
first sexyshop managed by women in Italy (in an independent social
center in Bologna), but it is also a hyper-place scattered with links, a
circuit with which to inract that brings to other circuits. A place
where sexuality is central cause, it is the zero degree of connection's
desire. In the gender, beyond the gender. The Sexyshock' women use a
collective name: "Betty". Expressing the desire to shut down with the
need of auto - agency.
