The Wife of Them All

A short story based on personal experiences of networking and family-building in the context of data capitalism, restricted access to assisted reproductive technologies and the concomitant intensification of migratory control. The plot is organized around a ‘heist’ narrative in which the data extracted by data capitalist and bioeconomic platforms is re-appropriated and redistributed as visas and passports. This project dialogues with and pays homage to a lineage of cyberfeminist, blackfeminist, queer marxist and net.art works that have visibilised and appropriated reproductive work as a site of struggle, creativity, love and resistance.
