This collection includes books, peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, critical essays, lectures, and research resources that contribute to discourse in bioart, feminist technoscience, and experimental practice. Featuring both publications available for purchase and freely accessible materials, these works articulate the theoretical and methodological foundations of Hunter's research, addressing embodiment, materiality, and the politics of knowledge production.

Text in WhiteFeather's work extends beyond the page, encrypting visual, performative, and computational contexts as an active material and structuring force. Through subtitling, embedded language, scripts, procedural writing, and bureaucratic documents, text functions as both interface and instruction, activating the experience. Ranging from anecdotal fragments to directive protocols and administrative forms, language is used to imprint perception, organize systems, and mediate relations between bodies, materials, and environments.

These early works engage feminist self-publishing and poetry as electric avenues for voice, resistance, and incantation. Produced outside institutional frameworks, the writing is confessional, ribald, erotic, and unapologetic, confronting embodiment, sexuality, identity, and power through uncensored expression. Circulating through zines, chapbooks, and independently distributed texts, self-publishing is a practice of autonomy and self-definition, laying the groundwork for later work in ritual, performance, and technoscience.
