Mute Vol. 1 No. 8: Cyberfeminism

The first issue of a relaunched Mute saw an attempt to manoeuvre the magazine within a commercial landscape of magazine publishing. Re-emerging as a quarterly glossy and fuelled by a faith that digital cultures could garner enough public appeal to become part of the mainstream media diet, Mute tried to hack into the commercial stratum with its 'critical/information/services'. It was felt that this strategy would prevent the magazine from becoming a service journal to the new media art scene and open the door to taking a broader view on how technology affected us all. This broader view saw the magazine increasingly being drawn to the 'anti-globalisation movement' and the issues that followed reflected that.
