Whore of New York: A Confession

Product Information

Y tu mamá tambien , a Mexican film from 2001, is another classic love triangle movie. It features two boys, best friends, who are enamored with an older woman. They all go on a road trip together, fraught with tension. The two boys have a friendship that is weighed down by class differences, jealousy, and different life paths… Can their friendship survive the pressure of a love triangle? It is an incredibly sexy movie, beautifully shot. I wonder how we can think about variances, about mapping multiple legs and observing how they evolve and continue to branch. This language of mutation has been embraced in a lot of the cyberfeminists’ work. This is my roundabout way of saying cyberfeminism does not have a singular definition, but it will always exist. According to the 2021 YouGov Body Image Study, 35 per cent of Americans have no preference if women shave or not, while 7 per cent said they should not shave.

It reminded me of how X and I were when we started dating.”Diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2, are ANNs that focus instead on generating images. They’re trained on endless images which are all associated with certain text descriptions. They’re then given a “noise” image that essentially looks like old-school television static. From there, they’re instructed to find an image in the noise. If you’ve ever looked at clouds and saw a face, or stared at the ceiling too long and started seeing strange images emerge, you’ve essentially done the same.

Cyberfeminism is a word that links many people who write, think, and make art about the internet, from a feminist perspective. When I asked Seu to define it, she offered the elusive response that “everyone has a different definition of cyberfeminism” which only opened further questions in my mind. Despite its unresolved state, one thing is clear: cyberfeminism is of utmost importance. In an era where the wild growth of the web is choked out by social media-walled gardens, we need ways to talk about our digital experiences – both for fending off corporate control and envisioning alternate futures. I was born to two nerds, both engineers, each from a long lineage of nerds. Family reunions on both sides are basically a generalized STEM conference; doctors, scientists, engineers, math professors, quants. While I was a kid, the role of the nerd was nebulous. Were we losers or were we cool? Maybe both?

I'm talking about <>. 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.

Mindy Seu: Spreadsheets have been around almost since we’ve had the ability to write. 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.
