Gender as a concept is not only applicable to humans. When the idea of gender is applied to the cables, its meaning is reduced into a relationship of insertion. As a non-binary individual and designer, Noam Youngrak Son finds this problematic that such way of classifying gender violently erases the existence of everyone that doesn’t neatly fit into those categories. However, instead of insisting on abolishing those terms, they discovered that the idea of gender that we applied to the electric cables functioning in queer ways that we couldn’t expect.
