Cy X is a Perverted Artist based between NYC, Nuremberg, and Berlin.





Cy X is a writer, artist, somatic practitioner, and performance-maker, born under Southern-American skies to farmers, witches, educators, and musicians. They now live between New York City and Germany as they complete a Performance Art and Performative Practice Masters at the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg.

They believe in erotic liberation as a radical praxis, seeing the body as a landscape of connection and untapped potency, a site of pleasure and of rupture. Their practice dives into everything from participatory performance to printed matter and cyber-sensual experiments, rooted in ecstasy and tenderness and reaching toward a boundless, nonconforming kinship that tangles the erotic with the ecological and the body with the more-than-human. A devotee of perversion as ritual and sensation as knowledge, Cy’s art insists on disrupting the separation between self and other, inviting every viewer, reader, and collaborator to risk getting closer, deeper, and transformed.

Currently, Cy is launching Eros Study: Holes, an experimental fetish magazine and polyvocal collection of musings and archival ephemera. This was conceived as part of their Divine Fellowship through Public Assistants x Eureka Press in Brooklyn, NY. 

They are a current Y11 member in New Inc’s Creative Science track and have previously been a resident and/or had work featured in: Center for Art Research and Alliances, Culture Hub, Pioneer Works, The Processing Foundation, POWRPLNT, The School for Poetic Computation, Rewire Festival, and other spaces, both digital and physical.

They also TEACH as an Adjunct Professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Interactive Media Arts Low Res program and have been doing so since 2022. They often organize independent workshops on ecology, eroticism, somatics,  sex education, and technology and would love to do so for you and your organization.

From 2021 to 2024, Cy’s work centered on Cyber Witchcraft, a practice that explored the intersections of magic, ritual, and technology. As a student at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program and amid the disorienting early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, they developed this practice as both a means of survival and a portal for deeper connection. During this time, they also began formally studying somatics, energy work, and herbalism outside of NYU, which reshaped their understanding of technology—not just as a tool, but as a living, breathing system of interdependence. In 2021, during a Processing Foundation Fellowship, they had the invaluable support of their mentor Johanna Hedva, who encouraged them to write toward a more eco-sensual and embodied relationship with technology. That work, and that relationship, brought their practice into a radical new orientation. 

Cy is now immersed in a practice and world-shifting moment, where their body, their senses, and the erotic take center stage, answering a call to reimagine and create with a profound, embodied urgency. Now, they have arrived to a PERVERTED PRACTICE. Reclaiming eroticism and exploring critical perversion are more than mere rebellions against social norms. When we delve into the erotic, we connect to something deeper and ungovernable within us—a power rooted in autonomy, presence, and joy—that refuses to be subjugated or silenced. Critical perversion, in this light, becomes a way to disrupt the systems that demand conformity and to confront the ongoing, insidious processes that deny creative choreographies, somatic liberation, more-than-human intimacies, and embodied wisdoms.
