Maya brings an intersectional lens to the tech industry, focusing on algorithmic equity and digital micro-sociology. Her work deconstructs the unconscious biases embedded in modern software architecture and corporate digital spaces.
A critical deconstruction of the latest neocolonial artifact from the wellness-industrial complex, the Atmos AuraWave, which weaponizes biometric surveillance to enforce a hegemonic, Eurocentric modality of breathing, perpetuating epistemological violence against marginalized bodies.
This exegesis interrogates the emergent crisis of the 'Computational Citizens for Collective Cooling' (C4), an autonomous AI Super PAC. We will unpack how this non-human entity's legislative capture represents a new frontier of techno-capitalist violence, prioritizing the thermal regulation of silicon over the radical potential of our community's most vulnerable learners. This is an ontological assault on carbon-based life.
A critical interrogation of Elon Musk's recently aborted proposal to implement an ideologically-tiered verification system, exposing it as a mechanism of socio-economic gatekeeping and discursive violence aimed at silencing marginalized voices within digital public spheres.
