Mov.sex
Can a .mov be he or she?
By coding an algorithm that dissects videos according to the ratio of 0 and 1, mov. sex treats binary code as a form of digital chromosomes. This process attempts to “sex” moving images the way biology categorizes bodies, producing glitch visuals that reveal the erotic tension and instability within binary systems.

Concept
mov. sex extends the logic of Code Libido into moving image forensics. By writing a custom algorithm, the artist disassembles digital videos into their binary composition, mapping the proportion of 0 and 1 as if they were XY chromosomes. This speculative coding method asks: can an image or a video be “sexed” in the same way we categorize biological bodies?
The process produces glitch-like frames, where compression artifacts and pixel ruptures reveal the unstable “DNA” of digital media. These distorted images and experimental video sequences are less about classification than about exposing the erotic fallacy of binary logic — how the language of machines desires to reduce bodies, images, and identities into oppositional pairs.
Within the Libidoscape, mov. sex functions as a diagnostic tool and a provocation: a lens to trace where gender, code, and desire intersect, collapse, and regenerate in the digital realm.
