  • Sonic Futures: Assistive Technologies, Gendered Labor, and the Colonization of Voice

    It’s alive! I, truly, have no idea how I was able to pull this massive feat of research, writing, and editing off considering the challenges that arose over the past few years. But it’s here and I can honestly say it scratches the surface and feels like the beginning. It’s definitely the close of one […]

  • #CyberfeminismIndex by Mindy Seu in conversation with Dorothy R. Santos, A.M. Darke, Cesia Domínguez López, and Anika Sarin organized by Cal State LA Department of Art and Southland Institute

    cyberfeminism? by Mindy Seu (excerpt) “Cyberfeminism cannot be reduced to women and technology. Nor is it about the diffusion of feminism through technology. Combining cyber and feminism was meant as an oxymoron or provocation, a critique of the cyberbabes and fembots that stocked the sci-fi landscapes of the 1980s.

Does the term “social media,” as a redundant term, accurately describe the processes of algorithmic amplification by which […]
