The internet was built off women's labor. Will it ever pay them back? From the creation of Google Images to the overlooked - or criminalized - digital labor of sex workers, the internet has been built on the intellect, image, and likeness of women. So where does that leave us in a rapidly changing digital environment where algorithms, AI, and even beauty filters distort our reality? To answer these questions, Brittany is joined by artist and UCLA professor <a href="https://mindyseu.com/"target="_blank" >Mindy Seu</a>. Her books, <a href="https://tour.cyberfeminismindex.com/"target="_blank" >Cyberfeminism Index</a> and <a href="https://darkforest.metalabel.com/asexualhistoryoftheinternet?variantId=1"target="_blank" >A Sexual History of the Internet</a>, uncover the desire at the foundation of the internet's inception and how the exploitation of marginalized creators has consequences for us all.
