CYBER QUEER (2020)
Senior Thesis
Selected to be featured in Queer Futurities: The Cyborg Re-Imagined at The Hokin Gallery (Chicago, Spring 2023), an exhibit exploring queered notions of gender, embodinent and identity in a culture mediated by technologies.
CYBER QUEER is a printed zine which explores the impact and influences of online queer communities onto the offline lives of their members. CQ serves as an archive of queer life on the burgeoning Internet platforms of the 1990s through the 2010s.
The zine features first-person accounts and interviews from contributors among the first generation of “digital natives.” A term which refers to individuals raised during the information age wherein digital technologies have become an engrained, integral way of life and accepted extension of our identities beyond physical form.
CYBER QUEER was the culmination of a year-long research project into methods of communication and queer community building during the pre-Internet era. Among those were zines, inexpensive DIY literary works whose relative ease-of-access facilitated the distribution of counter-cultural perspectives and resources into the hands of diverse, oftentimes isolated communities. CYBER QUEER contains numerous images reproduced from queer-topic zines of the ‘80s and ‘90s as an homage to these invaluable communication methods which preceded present-day digital spaces
