Suspicion And The Witch’S Tit, Shayna R. Miller
Suspicion And The Witch’S Tit, Shayna R. Miller
Theses and Dissertations

My body moving across spaces and times. As part of the Sawft.servindat… series, Sawft.servindat… [v1.7] uses the scroll down format of most PDF reading software to activate the inherently embodied experience of intra-acting with technologies, resisting the dichotomy between the virtual and analog. Englishes juxtaposed with Spanishes juxtaposed …
