ARTIST STATEMENT
BIMBOFY ME is an animated bimbofication ritual that premiered at the German festival Die Digitale on October 30, 2020 as part of the collaborative group performance Play4UsNow. A live digital performance and “data dungeon”, Play4UsNow livestreamed into the media arts festival’s exhibition space in Düsseldorf. Goofy Toof provided live animated visuals and performed a live version of BIMBOFY ME, BABY: A Breast Expansion Fantasy in a paid private room. In May 2021, video documentation of Play4UsNow and BIMBOFY ME was shown at Die Digitale’s five-year retrospective, installed at Heinrich-Heine-Allee subway station in Düsseldorf. Within the first day, Rheinbahn public transit authority shut down the gallery due to complaints that Play4UsNow was obscene and pornographic – the video was subsequently moved to the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, where it played in the foyer.
