It will be on display again during the Computer Grrrls exhibition in Eindhoven (July - October 2019) — <http://mu.nl/nl/exhibitions/computer-grrrls>.
## How to use the cross-reader?
This tool allows for cross-readings through a collection of cyber/technofeminist manifestos and the TF-IDF algorithm.
1. SEARCH — You can search through these manifestos by typing a keyword in the search bar or by clicking on the list of suggested keywords.
2. READ — You can simply browse through the list of manifestos (see right-hand column) and read them in their entirety and in their original web environment.
3. CROSS-READ — If you click on the ◐ icon, you can read the manifesto through the prism of the TD-IDF algorithm. This algorithm identifies the most specific words within a document. It was developed in part by British computer scientist Karen Spärck Jones and has been a crucial algorithm for a large number of online search engines.
4. INSPECT — Next to this icon, you can click on the TF, IDF and TF-IDF buttons to inspect the values of the TF-IDF algorithm for each manifesto.
## Cross-readings
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.
