Cyberfeminism Index

From a 13th-century tabula to the S&P 500, indices have typically served as dull, if not convenient tools by and for educated men. But Mindy Seu’s index on cyberfeminism, the antithesis of archaic, patriarchal apparatuses, hacked the system. After tweeting about her idea in 2019, the designer and technologist spawned a semi-viral, collaborative Google spreadsheet. An impressively grassroots archive, the document grew to 700 publicly sourced entries of radical techno-critical works. Then, seeking to better convey the rhizomatic nature of digital knowledge and its dissemination, she transformed her compendium into an interactive website.
