Abstract:

Women, Art and Technology

This panel consists of women artists and theorists from around the world, providing an overview of the variety of works women artists are currently creating with technology-based art media such as artificial life, virtual reality, video and multimedia installations, digital imaging systems, kinetic sculpture, and web-based and online art.

Panel members will provide brief descriptions of their work, leading to a general discussion of the contributions of women artists and development of new media. The panel will consider how issues of gender and identity have been addressed in the artworks and art forms of the twentieth century, as well as the evolution of media and concepts in the next millennium.

This panel is part of Leonardo's Women, Art and Technology Project. A related online panel, "Gender Identity in New Media" is being coordinated by Judy Malloy.

Panel members include:

Christa Sommerer, Donna Cox, Nell Tenhaaf, Victoria Vesna, Sonya Rapoport, Diana Domingues, Christiane Paul, Monika Fleischmann
