Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960-1991 is the first exhibition to study the history of digital art from a feminist perspective. This one-day symposium, organised jointly with TU Wien, offers the opportunity to gain insight to the subject via highly distinguished academics and artists. A series of presentations and panel discussions, which will be held in English, will bring together experts from the field of art and science structured in two thematic sessions: Zeros and Ones, Computing before Microprocessing and From the Electronic Cottage to the Virtual World. The emphasis will be on the contribution of women to the development of computers in general and digital art in particular.
