The exhibition produced by the Kunsthalle Wien and Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean sheds light on the history of digital art from a feminist perspective. The focus is on women who used computers as a tool or subject, as well as artists whose working methods were similar to computer-aided processes. With over one hundred works by fifty women artists from fourteen countries, the exhibition, curated by Michelle Cotton, includes painting, sculpture, installation, film, performance and numerous computer-generated drawings and texts created in the pre-internet era. As a predominantly analogue exhibition of digital art, it deals with a period marked by the so-called second wave of feminism, during which computers moved from the research context into the private, domestic space. The exhibition focuses exclusively on female protagonists and documents a lesser-known history of the emergence of digital art. In doing so, it consciously differs from conventional narratives about art and technology.
