I love hiking in LA, which is quite ironic when I think that this nature is completely artificial. All the icons of the Angeleno landscape are imported, which creates a paradox, a discomfort: the unconditional love of the locals for an absolutely fake landscape.

to create an AR application that would make the book into an interface. The performative reading is a way of simultaneously talking about and demonstrating new media. It was also a way of exploring the breaking points of tools: spreadsheets used as an index, rather than for data management; Unity (a gaming software) used to make a book into a digit... See more

AR as a portal - connecting physical + digital worlds
building worlds with tech tools rather than letting tech tools build us (subverting platforms, regaining control, giving them a new purpose that benefits our needs more)
The hefty tome of cross-references, which readers can navigate via one of the thematic paths outlined by sixteen notable cyberfeminists, or by using the entries like hyperlinks, has become an indispensable resource for historicizing the putting into practice of contemporary technology criticism.

Indexing / hyperlinking as pathways and portals
What if an economic diagram can treat economic units as permeable membranes instead of enclosed boxes? What if it portrays the economy as a more interdependent, rhizomatic web of connections?

As your cyberfeminist cyber-guide, I am taking you through the digital wilderness, through the spectral, weird and eerie, the ultra-smooth and the extra murky. As a promise of an odyssey lures me into the digital ether once again. For today, I want us to notice the landscapes of the digital ether, hop on my rickety rowboat, look into its skies, for...

As a community, our rebellion is against web3 technologies that read as hollowed-out utopian fantasies. Our enemy is the superficial allure of quick gains, and the lie that the path to mass adoption is the financialization of everything.
Instead, our goal is to work towards a suite of technologies that are deeply integrated into our cultural and soc... See more

There are all sorts of different entry points into this space. Again, it’s a matter of the intended function or behavior, versus ways we can subvert that towards some other call to action. And if those invitations come from glitches or breaking points, that’s even better.
