DISSERTATION
Latin@s Byte Back: Contestational Performance in the Technosphere. In my dissertation, I explore the art praxis of U.S. based Latin@ artists Coco Fusco, Ricardo Dominguez, Guillermo Gómez-Peña and Los Cybrids: La Raza Techno-Critica. I utilize Gloria Anzaldúa’s mestizaje and borderlands concepts and Deleuze and Guattari’s liminality to provide a feminist reading of these artists’ work, analyzing their projects on race, gender, class, bodies and labor throughout North, Central and South America. I focus on how these artists introduce resistant practices to redress neoliberal capitalist globalization.
