Description: The central question the Arachne webzine takes up is the relationship of mythology to the internet. The zine’s thematics of gender, labor, and technology focus this project on explorations of the landscape upon which ideas of self, society, public, community, and craft, are constructed online today, using the myth of the spider as a starting point.

The Arachne webzine is a collaborative project to examine the entanglement of mythology and embodied interactions with technology. The metaphors and mythos of weaving are pervasive in the present network cultures and in longstanding attempts to describe technology’s intertwinedness with all aspects of life.

The Arachne webzine is the result of homespun design work, which engages with each contribution on a one-to-one basis. Aspects of thought that we continue to engage with include: contemporary visual culture; intersectional gender, race, and labour studies; queer ontologies and metaphysics; human-machine interaction; trans and posthumanism; speculation; sound; magic; migration; and orientation.
