sister cyborg is the cyborg manifesto as illustrated by pop music videos
sister cyborg is a video made for the 100% Robot party held by Title:Point at the
Silent Barn on May 21st
sister cyborg is our immortal hoverdreams in dialogue with our planned
obsolescence
sister cyborg is the self refracted through the maze of self presentation
is the self as an index
is the self as a table of contents
is the self as a tumblr dashboard
is the deep resentment the twitter self has for the Facebook self
\ dissociated // disembodied // dysmorphic
\ dystopian
sister cyborg is a functional contemporary schizophrenia
sister cyborg is a coalition of the people who speak through us
sister cyborg is a country built by goons, forged toxic in the caverns of bravenet
her national anthem is the 56k dial up tone

what is the ballad of the broken transhumanist heart
what is the erotic value of the nonembodied
which bathroom do i hide in to lurk the queerweb
what are we touching when we touch each other
who says camgirls don’t cry
