http://www.arachne.cc/issues/03/hyper-invisibility-and-blackness-in-mexico-tiana-mincey.html
Hyper-invisibility and Blackness in Mexico: Encounters with the Self through encounters with history. Painting at Museo Regional de Palmillas, Yanga Veracruz. It is from this perspective that I write to you of what I’ve observed about the reception of my physical presence in Puebla especially, and of a story of the African diaspora in Mexico. Less mal-intended place of finding beauty in difference. So at least my hyper-visibility frequently comes with less negative connotations here then it may even ...

Userscapes: The Ambiguous Agent in a Computational Paradigm
http://www.arachne.cc/issues/03/userscapes-genevieve-costello.html
Userscapes: The Ambiguous Agent in a Computational Paradigm. In the proliferation of computational technologies the user emerges as an increasingly necessary subject-position to traditional regimes of modernity/globalization. The notion of user is no longer a design or platform affordance, but a bio and geopolitical position. Benjamin Bratton's conceptualization of the User Layer put forward in. The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty. The User Layer permits Bratton to separate the user as a category of a...

Fish Snake Narc [music] and Future Crystals [video]. When you accepted my submission, the email read: we like the idea of having club music in the webzine.

Fit for Work: The commodification of self-care in fitness tracking apps * Kirsty Hendry
http://www.arachne.cc/issues/03/fit-for-work-kirsty-hendry.html
Fit for Work: The commodification of self-care in fitness tracking apps. What do we have to lose from quantifying the self? Self-tracking devices reflect a top-down, one size fits all view of health that is defined by the bodily data collected by technology companies and fed back to users, rather than the wisdom of more traditional health practitioners and institutions. In a move to better understand the quantified health movement, I’d like to discuss Cursor. Developed by myself and artists. The cultivat...

Six Poems * Nadia de Vries
http://www.arachne.cc/issues/03/six-poems-nadia-de-vries.html
Sometimes My Arms Bend Back. I don’t want to be abandoned it is too cruel for school. Just for once I want to be the abandoner. Kilroy was here, but the fear never left. A pelican ate a pigeon and now no one believes in god anymore. Unfollow Me into the Dark. My instincts are strong I know a long road when I see one I know the place of endless pining You always walk there alone. You have to commit yourself to it not to me, but the darkness. Am I clever or am I lonely Am I clever or am I lonely.
