Searching For X Art Mia Malkova Inall Categor Review

III. Mia Malkova as Gesamtkunstwerk Enter Mia Malkova, the performer whose career arcs from Florida teen to mainstream cameos (Don Jon, 2013) to Twitch streams and ASMR channels. Her brand is elasticity—both anatomical and professional. She can be the corn-fed girl-next-door in X-Art’s “I Love to Love” (2012) and the hyperbolic cartoon of Brazzers’ “The Overcumming Problem” (2019). In each register she is recognizably herself, yet the self is a moving target. She is, in Walter Benjamin’s phrase, “the work of art in the age of mechanical reproducibility,” except the reproducibility is now algorithmic rather than merely mechanical.
