Queer Operations on the Digital: A Chronological Analysis of Queer Interactions with Technology

Abstract

Through the film No No Nooky T.V by Barbara Hammer, the Pixelvision videos by Sadie Benning and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair by Jane Schoenbrun, queer interactions with technology are analyzed. Issues of the origins of technology and their limitations for queer representation are continuously raised by these artists across time. These artists use abstraction, manipulation, and identity creation to interact with the technologies they exist alongside.
