2014 - The Cybertwee Manifesto - Gabriella Hileman, Violet Forest, May Waver

Texto

The singularity is dear. Far too long have we succumb to the bitter

edge of the idea that power is lost in the sweet and tender.

Romantic is not weak. Feminine is not weak. Cute is not weak.

We are fragmented and multifaceted bbs.

Lack of emotion is oft favored because success is defined

as the ability to be mechanical and efficient. But sentimentality,

empathy, and being too soft should not be seen as weaknesses.

We see the limitations of corporeality, as solipsists,

we know the body is the original prosthesis for operating

in this universe, we know the body illusory, we curate our candy.

Our sucre sickly sweet is intentional and not just a lure or a trap

for passing flies, but a self-indulgent intrapersonal

biofeedback mechanism spelled in emoji and gentle selfies.
