This research project is a qualitative examination of online and face-to-face spaces created by and for bisexuals. This work analyzes the practices of signifying bisexuality within these multiple spaces and addresses how users adapt visual, textual, and hyperlinked information to signify bisexuality. I suggest these practices be understood as 'technologies of visibility.' Technologies of visibility are the culmination of everyday uses of technology for identity recognition. These practices include using symbols, images, text and hyperlinks to construct the message "bisexual." These practices serve to signify bisexuality to the viewer as well as increase the recognition of bisexual representation within mainstream culture. This process is examined within a Western European cultural framework where the visual cues of orientation are limited by the cultural norms of heterosexuality and monosexuality. I argue in this work that the efforts to create bisexual visibility and resist monosexuality should be understood as forms of everyday activism.

520 $a The Internet, which was touted early on as a space of great potential for anonymity and exploration where visibility could be masked, here becomes the place where users try to make the perceived invisible 'visible' through digital mediation. Digital mediation, a process of enacting forms of identity---like race, gender, and sexual orientation---underscores both the non-essentialism of identity as well as its hybridity and fluidity. Digital technologies contribute to the complex and multidimensional processes that shape subjectivities. Participants discuss the complexities of an identity that appears more visible in online environments than it does offline. Digital spaces provide particularly useful environments for participants to negotiate issues of (in)visibility through digital mediation as they employ technologies of visibility through daily posts, pics, videos, and discourse in which bisexuality as a subject position is discursively (re)produced, articulated, defended, and desired.
