| Summary: | subRosa, a cyberfeminist art and theory collective was organized as a reading group researching issues of feminism, science, embodiment, and technology. As part of a residency at Carnegie Mellon University’s “STUDIO for Creative Inquiry” subRosa members Faith Wilding and Hyla Willis collaborated to produce SmartMom our first interactive Web-based project about the rapidly developing new biotechnological/medical/reproductive field known as Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and the increasing medical, technological, and state control of women’s bodies, sexuality, pregnancy, and birth. This illustrated essay describes the project’s origins, theory, research, and visual components, as well as its pedagogical and critical content, which examines the ways in which reproduction is being technologically managed increasingly linked to “smart” space and military technologies.
