What sounds like experimental pop is, underneath, an ongoing investigation into bodily autonomy, censorship, surveillance, AI and sexuality. Much like the conversation you’re about to listen to!
On this episode of OBSESSED., host Penelope Dario sits down with Von to discuss growing up in conservative Pennsylvania, finding her artistic voice in New York, and why she's chosen to build an entire creative ecosystem around conversations most platforms still struggle to host. Together they unpack technological politics and SW representation and what it means to make art that functions as a Trojan horse—drawing people in with music before confronting them with bigger questions about freedom.
