Join a guided tour through the exhibition Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991.

The loom as a symbol of manual and digital production is taken here as a starting point to show how women in the fields of art and technology laid the foundations for computer art. They utilised the digital technologies that were emerging at the time to create innovative works that were not only aesthetically, but also politically and socially relevant. This perspective reveals how female pioneers of computer art paved the way for today's digital art and media landscape.

The guided tour is free with an exhibition ticket and will be held in German.
