About
In contrast to the collectivity of mass media, Phobias and Fantasies focuses on technologies used in the privacy of one’s home. Household gadgets have been historically marketed for women, while the personal computer allow for opportunities to self-construct virtual, anonymous identities on the Internet. Molly Soda and Branda Miller use dating websites and webcams to represent female desires and behaviours in cyberspace, Cornelia Sollfrank speaks to an anonymous female hacker practicing Electronic Civil Disobedience and Anna Mikkola explores the automation of affective, domestic tasks constructed as unwaged women's work.
5:10pm: Molly Soda, "Come To My Window" (2016)
5:40pm: Branda Miller, "U & I’dOt cOm" (1999)
6:10pm Anna Mikkola, "Morphopoietic" (2017)
6:40pm Cornelia Sollfrank, "have script, will destroy" (2000)
