Event listing. Black and Purple text on lavender background. Text reads, "Upcoming Talks: Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen. Speaker: Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin.
Date: January 23, 2026.
In this talk, Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin will discuss their recent book and edited volume, Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen, published by Duke University Press in May 2025. New and emerging technologies, especially ones that infiltrate intimate spaces, relations, homes, and bodies, are often referred to as creepy in media and political discourses. The book introduces a feminist theory of creep that they substantiate through critical engagement with smart homes, smart dust, smart desires, and smart forests toward dreams of feminist futures. Contributing authors further illuminate what is otherwise obscured, assumed, or dismissed in characterizations of technology as creepy or creeping. Considering diverse technologies such as border surveillance and China’s credit system to sexcams and home assistants, the volume’s essays and artworks demonstrate that the potentials and pitfalls of artificial intelligence and digital and robotic technologies cannot be assessed through binaries of seeing/being seen, privacy/surveillance, or harmful/useful."
Nassim Parvin @nassimparvin.bsky.social will speak about "Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen" at this upcoming @labortechresearchnetwork.org event on Jan. 23:
