Abstract:
When we investigate the question how woman work with media art technology nowadays, it is interesting to look at female pioneers of digital art since the 1960’s. Woman artists and researchers had a key impact on today´s digital art and in this lecture selected female media art pioneers will be acknowledged. As the field of digital art has grown exponentially, current female media artists and young practitioners naturally face different challenges. Selected current work examples will be shown and practices will be discussed. Issue of gender inequity in art and technology networks will be addressed and good practice examples how to strengthen female networks in this domain will be presented.
