Ungender, deprogram, urinate: improve your life with post-cyber international feminism!

[Boiler 47,492]

You don’t have to wear a hi-tech bodysuit to be a post-cyber feminist, though some did. The ICA’s recent Post-Cyber Feminist Internationalconference drew an arty crowd of intellectuals, feminists and the intellectual, feminist, gender non-conforming. Want to know what self-determined, non-gendered DIY fashion looks like at the gorgeous, bleeding edge? This was the place: with everything from experimental tailoring to rubber face masks, at times the dressed-up vibe verged on Comic-Con for PhD candidates.

Foul-mouthed, irreverent and sexually liberated, the original Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st century was written by the Australian collective VNS Matrix in 1991. Describing themselves as “mercenaries of slime” and proclaiming that “the future will be unmanned”, VNS Matrix evoked an era in which computer interactivity was radically sexualised and gloopily physical. They took the emerging technological paradigm ­– in which software penetrated hardware – and imagined its ultimate evolution. Six years later, the first Cyberfeminist International was held in Kassel, Germany, and the idea of a networked, feminist future was discussed in optimistic terms.

With gender neutrality now the order of the day, isn’t feminism endangered?

I would support gender neutrality if it meant the death of the societal cancer that is feminism.  It comes down to a choice between the lesser of two evils.

Two maggots went to the big city.  One became rich and famous.  The other remained the lesser of the two weevils.
