Interviews with Supervert
Supervert and Necro Enema Amalgamated (of which Supervert was a founding partner) on sex, books, art...
2008 March - Forthcoming
Interview to promote the Lithuanian translation of Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish... "A few days after I received Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish from the printer, the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 occurred. I stood among boxes of books watching the towers of the World Trade Center spew black smoke. It was impossible not to ask myself that very question. Why perversion? How could I justify my researches in depravity when the world was falling apart around me?"
2007 December - Pravda
Interview to promote the Lithuanian translation of Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish... "I can't help but think that there is something wrong with anyone who consciously chooses to 'set aside sexuality.' In the past, perverts have been considered sick, ill, pathological. But if it is deviant to indulge in a kink or fetish, isn't it even more deviant to abstain from sex altogether? Nowadays anorexia is an illness. People who don't eat are considered sick. Why shouldn't celibacy be a sickness too?"
2003 January - Taint Magazine
Interview on Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish... "Inevitably an author leaks into his work like blood into a carpet. Some authors slit their wrists and splash the blood around and make a show of themselves. Others are more worried about the carpet itself and only bleed on it by accident, like someone who doesn't realize he has a cut. I like to think that I'm the latter sort, and therefore ETSF is no memoir of personal depravity. I do not have a fetish for Martians or Grays or Little Green Men."
2002 December - Backwash Magazine
Interview on Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish... "I very much believe that writing — if you do it with enough passion and intensity — is itself a kind of experience. Granted, if you write about a serial killer, it's a different kind of experience than cruising around in a red pickup truck, picking up crack whores, and strangling them with your jumper cables. But still, in order to write about such a serial killer, you have to get into his head — think his thoughts, see his sights, feel his feelings. You end up knowing his subjective experiences without having performed his objective actions. And in that sense, you really have lived through what he's lived through..."
1994 June - New York Magazine
Interview with Necro Enema Amalgamated... "The pair, [Supervert] is fond of saying, 'want to do for the information age what the Marquis de Sade did for the ideals of the Englightenment -- parody them by pushing them to extremes.' They want to make an interactive snuff film, for example."
1993 November - Interface NYC
Interview with Necro Enema Amalgamated... "Yeah, because the vagina is the metaphor that influenced our ideas and helped create the Blam! interface... There's nothing penis-like about our interface."
