Artist, professor in the Design Media Arts department at UCLA, researcher, and writer. Mindy Seu has two published books that will delight any fan of the www: Cyberfeminism Index (a pseudo-encyclopedia gathering three decades of online activism and net art, launched at the New Museum and awarded a Graham Foundation Grant) and A Sexual History of the Internet (2025). This second title is also an experiment in distribution models: published through Metalabel, every person mentioned and referenced in the book receives a percentage of sales. One of the platform's hits, and a practical example of what a fairer creative economy might look like.

But A Sexual History of the Internet doesn't come alone. It is accompanied by a performance that takes place in the dark: Mindy Seu moves through the audience and the only visuals in the room are the Instagram feeds of those attending. No keynotes, no powerpoints, no promotional videos. To take part, only one thing is required: a phone with an internet connection and an active Instagram account. If you've already uninstalled the platform, place yourself on the periphery and watch how an action unfolds in which the audience is, in some way, the true protagonist.
