Faith Wilding's "Next Bodies"

Faith Wilding makes a very interesting point in her article "Next Bodies." She discusses how feminists in an earlier time period used accessibale media to express themselves and raise awareness (like music, for example). She then says that we can have a similiar effect using the media we have available to us today (namely, the internet.)

So how can we use the websphere to help fight for our cause. One thing we can do, Wilding says, is that we can used fmeinist images (banners, avatars, ets). You know the saying "outta sight, outta mind"? Well, I believe it can be flipped to be "in sight, in mind." If we use feminist iamges as often as we can, where we go online, people will be forced to see them. I know this isn't much, but every little bit helps. It will also encourage other women to do the same.

Webdesigning is quite a trade these days. We can se our technical and artistic skills, combined with feminist purpose, to create websites that will stand as a place of expression.

Lastly, I see an increased importance for netwokring. Networking "spreads the word" about you and your online fmeinist efforts and therefore makes it easier for the fmeinist cuase to take hold online.
