Abstract:
Faces is a network of female media artists that was founded in Austria in 1997. After a series of conversations on the fringes of the major European media art festivals, the question was raised: “Where are the women?”
Many informal meetings and dinners were arranged to discuss ideas and challenges. At one of these, the mailing list was inaugurated. The Faces list created a forum that marked a fundamental change in the practice of some women and the feeling of limitless communication has opened up new possibilities for creative online projects. In 1997, it served as the organizing platform for the Cyberfeminist International at the Documenta X. Since then, many Faces have self-organized informal and public meetings, dinners, presentations and exhibitions.
FACES at ISEA 2024 is the opportunity to share the diversity and variety of the international community. Using the platform UpStage, an online tool for real-time storytelling, allows for an online audience to join, observe and interact via live chat. Coordinated by Eva Ursprung and Kathy Rae Huffman in a live, online Open Mic session, members of the list will have short presentations of their works.
Faces is ‘moderated’ by list co-founders Valie Djordjevic, Diana McCarty and Kathy Rae Huffman. http://www.faces-l.net/
