Author: Cotton, MichelleThis historical survey focuses on female artists who were either working with computer technologies or taking up the subject of computing and cybernetics in their work in the early years of the computer revolution. It documents a lesser-known history of the inception of digital art, countering conventional narratives by focusing entirely on female figures. Comprising more than 100 works by 50 artists from 14 countries, it spans a period from the 1960s through to the late 1980s.It also features a richly illustrated timeline covering the period between 1613 and 1991 and includes 27 new interviews with artists and over 200 illustrations. This extensive publication includes three new essays by Tina Rivers Ryan, Margit Rosen and the exhibition's curator, Michelle Cotton. ISBN 9783753307343.
