This article examines the state of feminism amidst modern day media and technology. Toffoletti argues the biological and technological contexts of the modern female are "imploding" on one another, creating a hybrid view of feminism, which may be detrimental.
"This is because the notion of womanhood grounded in corporeal, socially and culturally prescribed female experience, is undermined by electronic communications that collapse the distinctions between subject and object, nature and technology. The status of the lived body in subject constitution becomes problematic."
Toffoletti is concerned for the either-or state of her argument. She fears the "electronic networks and signals that threated to overwhelm the body and render it obsolete," however, on the other hand, such arguments could backfire and eventually fence women off from the cyberworld. This article was interesting to read because it formulated a very unique and individualized stance on feminist issues. As in most arguments containing issues with digital media, Toffoletti cites Marshall McLuhan, the father of such discussions. The arguments surrounding this new digital age have been made before this article was written, however, Toffoletti is successful in her unique approach from a feminist platform. The way she describes the digital media depiction of women as "imploding the boundaries" with the real is fascinating and almost makes the media seem as though it is a living entity of itself-a violent entity with the means to affect perception.

This topic relates to my work in a visual, as well as a conceptual framework. Visually, my images have an implosive quality. Images and contexts overlap and shorten each other into an oblivion of information, seeking to eradicate the singular subject to create a new truth or connection. Conceptually, the work functions similarly. The different subjects and concepts within the work are imploded into the core of connectivity, rendering the different species and genders within the work inclusive or parallel in understanding. The inter-species, inter-gender connectedness within the work is not a spoken truth amongst the subjects, but rather an instinctual effect of the implosion.
