Abstract:
This article discusses the conceptual underpinnings, creative process, and research methods used to create the immersive installation titled “bug in my software”. “bug in my software” reflects on tensions between gender, labor, and technology, by drawing parallels from the engineered lifecycle and genetically modified DNA of a silkmoth to the womxn-dominated textile labor industry and gendered biases embedded in AI development. The project combines textile installation, XR, and a screen-based speculative ecosystem simulation. Here, the silkmoth – both organic and engineered for silk production creature – is a proxy to examine the relationship between gender, labor, human and non-human intelligence.
