Always On
Technology, data and the architecture of gender-based violence.
Technology did not invent gender-based violence. It changed its reach. This zine argues that everyday technology — accounts, permissions, household admin, ranking and recommendation — extends and intensifies intimate-partner violence when it is working exactly as designed.
It makes the case that accountability belongs to the systems, not to the person being harmed, and reads as a sequence of designed, interactive spreads rather than a report.
