Von is the New York–based underground producer and multimedia artist transforming biometric data and pleasure waveforms into electronic compositions. 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.

Maddie V Baby has been a fixture of New York's underground nightlife since arriving in the city in 2022.
Since then, she's gotten sober, gone platinum blonde, landed the covers of Barely Legal and Hustler, and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in mainstream adult entertainment. But, as she puts it, she's still very much in the middle of her transformation.
This Capricorn queen joins OBSESSED host Penelope Dario for a conversation about getting sober, chasing reinvention, finding herself in Los Angeles while desperately missing New York, and what comes next.

April Flores has spent more than two decades refusing to disappear. A performer and model, and one of the most influential figures in BBW adult entertainment, April helped reshape who gets to be seen as desirable while an industry—and a culture—kept trying to erase people who don’t fit into teeny tiny boxes.

This conversation is about labor. Family. Fatness. Community. Grief. And how to stay positive and find yourself again and again through all of life’s changes

Hosted by Penelope Dario, OBSESSED. is Petit Mort's ongoing archive of the people who quietly build culture long before the rest of the world catches up.
