Whore of New York: A Confession

Product Information

Mindy Seu: It’s exciting and eye-opening because everyone has a different definition of cyberfeminism. It has always had a multiplicity of voices. Cyberfeminism feels like a co-authored, rhizome that is built by the people who need it. For our opening of the WETWARE exhibition at Feral File , Amy Ireland interviewed Shu Lea Cheang about this, who answered using the language of the pandemic, of virality. She said, “The mutation is the most normal process in our proceedings; the way we perceive the world should always be in mutation. Maybe the next generation of cyberfeminism doesn’t need to be named: neither cyber, neither feminism, but definitely mutating. When you talk about a mutating medium, do you still use the same name? Or do you call it C.F. Variant 10.0?” I thought this framing was very generative. She has written for Vice Media and HuffPost. Her first book, Whore of New York: A Confession, was published in October 2021.

Mindy Seu: It’s also representative of what information is overloaded, so others are buried. That seems to be quite strategic as well. Do you feel like cyberfeminist theory has shifted over the years from an optimistic vision of technology to anti-surveillance and anti-capitalism? With Cyberfeminism Index , Seu has made something of a canon for anyone who wants to get up to speed, featuring mainstays like Donna Harraway, VNS Matrix, Sadie Plant, and Radhika Gajjala, but she stresses that cyberfeminism itself is in a constant state of flux. It lends institutional validation to works that might have otherwise disappeared into the noise of information overload. A hefty tome; not quite a Bible, but an archive – and a beautiful one at that. a b Aaron, Michael (17 July 2018). "Why FOSTA/SESTA Harms Those It Supposedly Serves". Standard Deviations.

Even if you ask Stable Diffusion or ChatGPT to define themselves, they are not truly, deeply self-referential as an integral part of their makeup. If ChatGPT had spent a great deal of time being trained on itself and conversations it had with others, then trained onward and onward on its reflections (or outputs) on that data, then perhaps it might be slowly heading towards consciousness. Chanté Glover, 29, said that when they first started growing out their body hair in 2016, they felt “pretty alone in my friend group”– however now finds it “empowering”.

Think about clay tablets; they’ve long been a form of record keeping. Now with Google Drive and other cloud-based tools, they’re so easy to share. People have started using spreadsheets in unusual and unintended ways, from diaries, timelines, or multi-tab publications that are open access. Spreadsheets can be quite personal, too.
