«In Cyberfeminism Index, hackers, scholars, artists, and activists of all
regions, races and sexual orientations consider how humans might reconstruct
themselves by way of technology. When learning about internet history, we are
taught to focus on engineering, the military-industrial complex, and the
grandfathers who created the architecture and protocol, but the internet is not
only a network of cables, servers, and computers. It is an environment that
shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants and their use.
The creation and use of the Cyberfeminism Index is a social and political act. It takes the name cyberfeminism as an umbrella, complicates it, and pushes it into plain sight. Edited by designer, professor, and researcher Mindy Seu, it includes more than 700 short entries of radical techno-critical activism in a variety of media, including excerpts from academic articles and scholarly texts; descriptions of hackerspaces, digital rights activist groups, and bio-hacktivism; and depictions of feminist net art and new media art.
Both a vital introduction for laypeople and a robust resource
guide for educators, Cyberfeminism Index—an anti-canon, of sorts—celebrates the
multiplicity of practices that fall under this imperfect categorization and
makes visible cyberfeminism’s long-ignored origins and its expansive legacy.
“You can use it as a reference, follow a thread, or just access it at random and it delivers wit and wisdom from over three decades of one of the most politically and intellectually challenging movements of our era. What happens between sexed flesh and gendered tech? More than ever we all need to know."
—McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto
“This is an archive perfectly suited to its material: at ease with impermanence, richly appreciative of contradiction, and expansive in scope. Mindy Seu and her cohort of collaborators celebrate the polyrhythmic chorus of voices that have made cyberfeminist thought so delightfully difficult to define—and invite new, kaleidoscopic reinterpretations of our last three decades of life online."
—Claire L. Evans, author of Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet
“The Cyberfeminism Index celebrates, troubles, and critiques the histories and futures of struggle against networked patriarchy—from its first libidinous eruptions to tenacious tactical disruptions and mutations. For theorists and hegemony hackers alike the Index offers an inspirational and educational resource for the urgent work of glitching and decolonizing intersectional internets now."
—Ruth Catlow, founder of Furtherfield»

Recentemente foi apresentado no New Museum. Lá se pode ler:«Supported by the Rhizome Commissions
program, Cyberfeminism Index launched in 2020 as a website collection of
projects in a wide range of modes and media relating expansively to the
productively complicated portmanteau from which the project draws its name. The
website was conceptualized and facilitated by Seu, developed by Angeline
Meitzler, with frontend support from Janine Rosen, and PDF support from Charles Broskoski.(...).
