A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century
A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century
”In 1991, VNS Matrix unleashed their collaborative manifesto A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century. They put it on the internet and a giant travelling billboard. From there, it quickly leaked onto the radio and magazine pages and other IRL ephemera, jumping from medium to medium at rapid pace, eventually coming to rest in the centre of a 6m x 3m billboard, flanked by speculative/fantastical icons, in the form of a futuristic sigil. It was in this gyne-canonical text that the term 'cyberfeminism' first appeared.” The manifesto begins with “we are the modern cunt” and has since become a manifesto-as-meme that has transversed text, performance, and exhibitions throughout the world.
