Perthites: It’s not too late to register for cyberpunk con Night’s Edge next weekend.

Night’s Edge incorporates the Australasian Summit of Cyberfeminism. Sometime guest Hoyden sajbrfem presiding:

* Cyberfeminism 101: the herstory of cyberfeminism from VNS Matrix and the Old Boys Room to cyberfeminism now
* Being Frankenstein (or, I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess): how science & society work to configure bodies (especially women’s bodies) as monstrous and ‘carnival’
* Bingo! – the importance of subversive humor in cyberfeminism, culture jamming and on-line activism
* Open Source for grrls: open source software and open source culture
* Advocacy, Feminism and Transformative Works: How an internet community engages with real-world social systems.
* And then we will wrap it all up with a CyPEC dinner at a near by restaurant

Day passes are available if you only want to go to CyPEC. If you’re in Perth, get along to the Emerald!

    ?so long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrranize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.
    Voltarine de Cleyre
