Digital Identities Feminist Futures

Editing
Writing
Curating

Our zine aims at creating a discourse about the influence of technology on our identities. We want to explore how societies change their notion of identity, of bodies and the self through the digital. Looking at current and evolving technologies such as AR and VR, as well as algorithmic decision-making and other forms of data analysis, we put systems in question that are currently used in discriminating ways, or could be in the future, and propose thoughts on the intersectional feminist futures we want to see and make happen.

It is important to us to look at these topics from perspectives that allow us to spark discussions and create trains of thought outside of the margins drawn by patriarchy, racism and capitalism. We are writing from our points of views as people of the margins. Our zine will be a mixture of essayist thought, digital renderings, comic style ideas and artistic drawings.

The zine was first presented at CTRLZ Zine Fair in Barcelona. CTRLZ is focused on technology and artificial intelligence: ”It's a creative intervention for those who are critical of AI and what these new technologies have to offer us. While the discourse coming out of Silicon Valley breathlessly promotes the seemingly endless utility and potential of AI, most of the rest of us — especially those of us who are members of marginalized communities — view these technologies with skepticism and concern.”

CtrlZ.AI will be held as an off-site event alongside the 2020 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAT*).
