# cyber/technofeminist cross-readings

<https://cross.virtualprivateserver.space>

This is the code for a cyber/technofeminist cross-reader, developed in the context of the exhibition Computer Grrrls in Paris (March - July 2019) — <https://gaite-lyrique.net/evenement/computer-grrrls>.

It will be on display again during the Computer Grrrls exhibition in Eindhoven (July - October 2019) — <http://mu.nl/nl/exhibitions/computer-grrrls>.

*This cyber/technofeminist cross-reader does not follow one but two axes, bridging the act of reading a collection of texts, with the act of reading a tool.*
