RELEASE: CQDE: a feminist manifestx of code-ing (2020)

Sybil Press presents CQDE: a feminist manifestx of code-ing

CQDE: A feminist manifestx of code-ing written by Alejandro T. Acierto and KT Duffy speculates on the nature of collaboration through queer-feminist frameworks within creative coding environments. Situated within ongoing conversations of care and accountability, this text draws from restorative justice models and intersectional feminist praxis to outline a new logic of care within techno-collaborative spaces.

Acknowledging the nature of violence that often permeates relationships within creative coding contexts, educational environments, and the broader tech industry, this manifestx presents alternatives that establish new orientations of thinking, doing, making, and being. Offering a series of speculative toolsets for the implementation of techno-collaborative feminist praxis, CQDE calls into question the relationships between human and machine.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: PIGEON NO 3: THEME: “Spirit Animals” ABSTRACT DEADLINE JAN. 1st 2021

Pigeon is a radical animal reader published by Sybil Press. We seek new, experimental, creative essays, text art, word games, and other literary works for issue 3 on the subject of “spirit animals.”

We understand animal in the larger sense, from the human and non-human animal to the monarch butterfly and invisible microscopic worlds. We are open to speculation on cosmic life and artificial intelligence and philosophical, psychological or political animals. In terms of spiritualism: we seek a hybrid discourse surrounding animal beings and being animal in ritualized, mystical, mythic and religious forms and spaces which can be interwoven with representation and/or exploitation and/or empowerment of otherness, gender, identity, and the natural or unnatural environment.

In the spirit of “no gods; no masters,” contrarian paradigms and interdisciplinary critiques are desirable.

Please e-mail a 300 word abstract as a PDF with contact information to pigeon@sybilpress.org by January 1st, 2021. Subject line: animal 3 abstract.

Half of all sales of Pigeon will be donated to animal welfare/rights/liberation organizations, with the remaining half used to cover costs and the making of subsequent issues.

“Tungsten is a difficult element. Never alone, it is found only in compounds and must be extracted. Even then it is brittle and difficult to work, but the work is worth it. This is in part because of Tungsten’s permanence – it has the highest melting point of all the elements – and in part because of its density and shine. So it is with Geoffrey Tungsten, whose voice has been extracted it seems from a great morass, only to arrive as fine and robust as carved stone. And, he comes to us from a carver who is never minimal, but who has learned to make carving symphonic. The result is that by following a trace of beauty we glimpse the magic required to make words tell us the truth, or, as Geoffrey himself puts it, to ‘say wing and hear wing.’ Please treat yourself to this small book with big designs on your clavicytherium heart.”
- Jack Christian, author of Family System

"Who cleans up after the last bone is sucked dry?" Review of The Book of Cannibals by MWS

“In the transgressive tradition of Georges Bataille (and Lev Shestov, Michael Taussig, André Breton, André Masson, Pierre Klossowski, Roger Caillois, Jules Monnerot, Jean Rollin, Jean Wahl) and drawing on Bataille’s fascination with human sacrifice and his founding of Acéphale, a secret society symbolized by a headless man, The Book of Cannibals ... offers us a smorgasbord of surreal mediations on pizza, Hell, solipsism, drones, hipsters, and (the ever-faithful) Death.”

Luciferian Review of The Book of Cannibals: Vincent A. Piazza

“...it screams at you from every page of this little hand Printed book by Sybil Press. References to Heraclitus, Nietzsche, Socrates and Lucifer prettily drip from the pages. Each line evokes his philosophy that human myths, characters, archetypes, heroes and villains are all “Cannibals” that must defend their kingdom from those who would deny cannibalism...It is a perfect evening read for all of you Music lovers, Film Buffs, musicians, composers, Occultists and Artists from all branches, but I suspect you will hate and then love this book half a dozen times before you reach the end.”

— Vincent A. Piazza
