Sex toy tech-art from discarded household gadgets


Ian Haig is an Australian geek pervert artist who makes wacky, futuristic sex toys from used tech stuff: discarded vacuum cleaners, food processors, and the like. Many of the passers-by who wandered into his booth at the recent Erotica LA expo assumed the devices were intended to be used. A scary prospect, given their appearance, but some people will get off to just about anything. Thankfully, Haig makes the devices for observation only. Think of it as socio-sexual nerdist commentary, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Just be grateful nobody's trying to plant one of these firmly up your cheeks.

I shot a couple of photographs of Mr. Haig and his "Futurotica" tools at Erotica LA: one, two.
