“Will you pose for me?” F.A.T. artists Addie Wagenknecht and Pablo Garcia ask, directing the adult performers, adjusting them until they get the desired pose on their live xxx webcam feed until they pose in hommage of Egon Schiele, Modigliani, Botticelli… What if adult performers—already mediated sex objects—struck ‘classic’ poses?
