Compulsory heterosexuality works most powerfully in the most casual modes of conversation. One asks: ‘Do you have a boyfriend?’ to a girl, or one asks ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’ (to a boy). Queer subjects feel the tiredness of making corrections and departures; the pressure of this insistence, this presumption, this demand that asks either for a ‘passing over’ (a moment of passing, which is not always available) or for direct or indirect forms of self-revelation (‘but actually, he’s a she’ or ‘she’s a he’, or just saying ‘she’ instead of ‘he’ or ‘he’ instead of ‘she’ at the obvious moment). No matter how 'out’ you may be, how (un)comfortably queer you may feel, those moments of interpellation get repeated over time, and can be experienced as a bodily injury; moments which position queer subjects as failed in their failure to live up to the 'hey you too’ of compulsory heterosexuality.

Info:

The Xenofeminist Manifesto was published in 2015 by the collective Laboria Cuboniks. It stems from a dissatisfaction about the lack of a type of feminism that responds to the challenges and conditions of the 21st century. The manifesto picks up themes that were first discussed by Cyberfeminists of the 1990s with their techno-utopian expectations of what the internet can offer to us. Focussing on liberating us from the confines of gender, race and other power structures, it looks up to inherent open-source, anonymous, and bottom-up philosophies of the web and technology, and subsequently understands itself as a code for anyone to use and alter.

3rdspace is a response to XF and an exploration into the potentials of technology to escape modern structures of control, such as when norms or degrading social standards are stated as factually ‘natural' and 'given'. As artists, we are trying to reprogram the existing world’s code and engineer new ones - whether it’s about how we communicate and perceive knowledge, how we relate to our ourselves or how we effect our environment. As a consequence, the artists’ works revolve around the the XF motto; "If nature is unjust, change nature"

We are surrounded by a network of satellites creating an information shell around the world, and all around us, mostly out of sight, are the power stations and distribution points that actually service the lives around us. Meanwhile we still live in spaces whose forms and arrangements, both spatial and political, were established long before the world of electronics began to change daily life.

Last night I wrote an essay when I was lucid dreaming!

I borrow an identity in order to succeed. I immerse myself in the necessary physical and mental state. It's a way of freeing me from myself.

Our world economy is dependent on the production and circulation of hundreds of tons of synthetic steroids and technically transformed organs, fluids, cells (techno-blood, techno-sperm, techno-ovum, etc.) on the global diffusion of a flood of pornographic images, on the elaboration and distribution of new varieties of legal and illegal, synthetic psychotropic drugs (e.g., bromazepam, Special K, Viagra, speed, crystal, Prozac, ecstasy, poppers, heroin), on the flood of signs and circuits of the digital transmission of information, on the extension of a form of diffuse urban architecture to the entire planet in which mega cities of misery are knotted into high concentrations of sex-capital.

We live outside ourselves, hardly perceiving anything of ourselves but our own ghost, a colourless shadow which pure duration projects into homogeneous space.
