| | | | Cyberfeminism IndexEdited with introduction by Mindy Seu. Foreword by Julianne Pierce of VNS Matrix. Afterword by Legacy Russell.
 Hackers, scholars, artists and activists of all regions, races and sexual orientations consider how humans might reconstruct themselves by way of technologyWhen 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 (who began the project during a fellowship at the Harvard Law School’s Berkman Klein Center for the Internet & Society, later presenting it at the New Museum), it includes more than 1,000 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, bio-hacktivism; and depictions of feminist net art and new media art.
Contributors include: Skawennati, Charlotte Web, Melanie Hoff, Constanza Pina, Melissa Aguilar, Cornelia Sollfrank, Paola Ricaurte Quijano, Mary Maggic, Neema Githere, Helen Hester, Annie Goh, VNS Matrix, Klau Chinche / Klau Kinky and Irina Aristarkhova.
PRAISE AND REVIEWSHyperallergic Lakshmi Amin This is an invitation to contemplate, agree or disagree with, and further investigate its multitude of arguments. Brooklyn Rail Jenny Wu As a comprehensively intertextual, future-oriented archive, Seu's book gains credibility precisely where it yields to the babel of contradictions thriving in the margins of cyberspace. |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 3/10/2023 Featured spreads are from Cyberfeminism Index, Inventory Press’s hot new 608-page compendium of more than 1,000 short entries of radical techno-critical activism by hackers, scholars, artists and activists of all races, religions and sexual orientations, edited by Mindy Seu. She writes, “As of this printing, the Cyberfeminism Index traces three decades of global cyberfeminism. But, like cyberfeminism itself—permeable, malleable, and anti-canonical—the index is still in progress. More than a historical overview, this publication was initiated by and is being released into a specific context, one in which platform oligopolies reign supreme, surveillance capitalism commodifies us, and techno-dystopia looms. Its existence reflects that reality. The book is also imperfect: the version printed here is messy, with blindspots and selected truths. Despite my collaborators’ and my attempted thoroughness in gathering the entries herein, many voices are left unaccounted for. Still, as a compilation of a wide sample of techno-critical works, the Cyberfeminism Index might reveal potential for acts we can take to reclaim cyberspace not as a utopia, but as a space for skepticism, growth and entanglement. Here, multiple histories diverge, juxtaposing and complementing their varying ideologies and motivations, and they will continue to beyond these pages. This is not the index of cyberfeminism, but a document of—and another moment of—its mutation.” continue to blog | FORTHCOMING AND NEW: ART |  | HATJE CANTZISBN: 9783775753883
