The Body As Site: Pat Cadigan

Seduced & Abandoned: The Body in the Virtual World was one of a series of ICA conferences (spanning 12-13 March in 1994) held under the umbrella title Towards the Aesthetics of the Future that explored the connections between culture, society, politics and the impact upon them of new digital processes and technologies. In this excerpt from 'The Body As Site', writer Pat Cadigan discusses the relationship been gender and technology, particularly the way technology is seen as scientific rather than cultural.
