This entry examines communications technologies that function across space, time, and cultures and seeks to expand rather than contract what it means to be human through and alongside our technologies. Using the project Not the Only One as a case in point, it examines the role of augmented technological systems as gatekeeping agents and ponders race and gender as inherent ontological states some of us are born into. The continuous avalanche of technological advancements threatens to reduce many of ways of being into a monoculture centered on technocratic logics. Those of us at the fringes of the code, artificially intelligent systems, and institutions gatekeeping the future must work to upend, circumvent, or demolish the algorithms increasingly controlling the worlds that maintain us. More importantly, we must find ways to center and sustain ourselves while creating, engaging, and transgressing all avenues the new technologies offer.
