Description

The ‘girl’ inhabits no one person, body, or gender. She is a technology of subjectivity composed of symbolic, consumer, and inhuman elements. The ‘girlstack’ models the ultrasmooth, cybergothic, and angelic dimensions of the ‘girl’s natural habitat. She might be our only way out of the platform trap. First published as an essay on Wired and expanded at BODYSTACK and Creamcake 3HD. Interview on New Models.

Reflection

Quicho’s girl-stack is a speculative prototype models the “ultrasmooth, cybergothic, and angelic dimensions of the girl’s natural online habitat. To be clear: Quicho does not speak of actual girls or the experience of lived girlhood, but a socially constructed ideation of the girl. So, the girl as a vehicle for selling product, the girl as a tool for manipulating entrenched power, the girl as living currency, and the girl as desiring machine. The model is imperative for understanding the environment that produces the ‘girl as condition’.
