Hackers, scholars, artists, and activists consider how humans might reconstruct themselves by way of technology. "Cyberfeminism Index" - by designer and technologist Mindy Seu - collects their analyses about the intersection of gender, sexuality, culture and processes of racialisation. On February 27 at 6:00 PM, the Milan campus will host the book launch as part of the ON/OFF Media Talks cycle curated by the Media Design and New Technologies and the Set Design Areas. In addition to the talk in conversation with Arianna Mainardi (NABA lecturer) and Giulia Vallicelli (digital archivist - University of Milan, curator - Compulsive Archive), the event will include a performative reading by Mindy Seu herself.

Mindy Seu and "Cyberfeminism Index"
NABA is the first academy in Italy to host Mindy Seu. As a designer and technologist, Seu focuses on archival projects and techno-critical writings. Her latest work surveys historical precursors of the metaverse and reveals the materiality of the internet. In "Cyberfeminism Index" (Inventory Press), she has collected 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.
