What would it be like to reclaim our ability to cast spells, engage in magic making, and create change across time and space with or without our computers and devices? What if we see our cyber technologies as earth-based and our earth-based practices as technologies? We seek not to establish a hierarchy of technologies but rather to work with cyberwitch practices in a way that intimately engages our own radical imagination, ancestral knowledge, and inner-knowing.
Cy X (they/we) is a black queer agender love influencer, earth tender, and cyber witch based in Brooklyn, NY. They are a pisces sun + scorpio moon doing the magical work of integrating indigenous, ancestral, and emerging technologies, showing the necessity of an embodied way of being that moves beyond binaries and reliance on techno-capitalist fixes. Fusing art and technology with the practice of witchcraft, they use spells, rituals, and alchemic practices to fundamentally alter the world around us.
