Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991 will be the first of a series of group surveys based on original research.This exhibition adopts a feminist perspective on the history of artists’ experiments in the pre-internet era of computing.

About

Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991 is the first survey to study the history of digital art from a feminist perspective, focusing on women who worked with computers as a tool or subject and artists who worked in an inherently computational way. Comprising more than one hundred works by fifty artists from fourteen countries, the exhibition includes painting, sculpture, installation, film, performance and many computer-generated drawings and texts created in the pre-internet era. A principally analogue exhibition about digital art, it spans a period marked by the so-called second wave of feminism during which the computer migrated from institutional laboratories to private, domestic space. Focusing entirely on female figures, it documents a lesser-known history of the inception of digital art, countering conventional narratives on art and technology.
