Its contributors approach artificial intelligence through anti-racist, decolonial and transfeminist perspectives, holding the mineral and the computational in a single frame — stones and circuits, land and infrastructure, extraction and inference. Essays, interviews, scores and artist pages move between Indigenous epistemologies of dreaming and cognition, the labour and waste of machine systems, and the intimacies that form between humans, organisms and machines. What emerges is a publication in which art is not simply responding to technology but actively reshaping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuest edited by V Barratt and Julianne Pierce of VNS Matrix, the Adelaide-formed collective behind \u003cem\u003eA Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributions from Suzanne Kite, Francesca da Rimini, Xanthe Dobbie, Katy Ilonka Gero, Bianca Tainsh, OMSK Social Club, Make or Break, Tayer Stead, Amit German, Lexei Sasha Salpeter, Thomas Capogreco, Jemimah Widdicombe, Mara Schwerdtfeger, and Dave Court \u0026amp; Jen Mathews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt direction and print design by Dennis Grauel and Zenobia Ahmed, with a titling typeface drawn specifically for this issue from six stone archetypes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eText typeset in RJ Sancha by Robert Janes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow anti-racist, decolonial and transfeminist thought reframes artificial intelligence as a material and political system rather than a neutral tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist-led approaches to the more-than-human commons — care, alloparenting, and collaboration across human, organism and machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mineral underside of computation: extraction, waste and the geology that keeps circuits running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cross-section of practice from Australia and abroad working at the edge of art, technology and ecology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV Barratt and Julianne Pierce are founding members of VNS Matrix, the collective formed in Adelaide in 1991 whose \u003cem\u003eA Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century\u003c\/em\u003e helped establish cyberfeminism as an artistic and political practice.
