[NetBehaviour] Review of Cornelia Sollfrank's “À la recherche de l’information perdue” ICA London, 2017

2019-02-17 Thread marc.garrett via NetBehaviour 
Review of Cornelia Sollfrank's performance “À la recherche de l’information 
perdue” at the ‘Post-Cyber Feminist International’ event at the ICA London, 
2017.
By Athina Karatzogianni

https://www.furtherfield.org/leaking-information-leaking-genetic-information-trust-transparency-and-rape/

“À la recherche de l’information perdue” was a performance that Cornelia 
Sollfrank contributed to the ‘Post-Cyber Feminist International’ event at the 
Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.1 The event in November 2017 marked 
the twentieth anniversary of the First Cyberfeminist International (documenta 
X, Kassel, Germany, 1997) organized by the Old Boys Network, paying homage to 
its productive format and legacy."

"In her own words, Sollfrank set out to offer an “one-hour lecture performance 
that makes a (techno-)feminist comment on the entanglements of gender, 
technology and information politics,” with the rationale that “with the 
technological landscape vastly changed since the first Cyberfeminist 
International, we are living in a time well beyond the imagined future of the 
early cyberfeminists. Expanding upon this particular genealogy, this convening 
purposefully constellates thinkers to consider a new vision for 
“post-cyberfeminism” that is substantive and developed, without being 
exclusionary of contestation.”
