Abstract:
This chapter is located at the collision of femininities, technologies and performance, and in the CD-ROM format in particular. It begins by asking what it means to be located as Other to an insurgent technology, and develops this analysis in relation to the association of femininity as un-bound flow. It goes on to call for the marking of technology with the feminine. The latter part of the chapter analyses specific examples of performative practice on CD-ROM. These are Gilson-Ellis / Povall's 'mouthplace', Adriene Jenik's 'Mauve Desert' and Laurie Anderson's 'Puppet Motel.'
