Women, Art & Technology:an uneasy access?

Submitted by Sarah Beth on Tue, 2012-12-11 10:17

“Women, Art, and Technology: An Uneasy Access?” is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, “Future Imagined: What Next?” which was part of the ZERO1 2012 Biennial. Don’t miss this exciting panel discussion with Michal Gavish, Penelope Finnie, Penny Nii, and Carla Riggi. The exhibition highlights the interplay between artists, technologists and scientists as they converge to test the artistic limits of the possible in a technologically driven world. This complementary public forum brings together a diverse set of practitioners who are forging the creative edges of art, science, and technology. The focus will be on the triumphs and challenges of being a woman working in a technology-based art practice. The women on our panel will recount the contributions they make as innovators and entrepreneurs and will share their perspectives on how to prosper in a technological environment in which men predominate.

Over the weekend San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) opened their 2012 ZERO1 Biennial exhibition  by international media artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. Mexican-born, Montreal-based artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, explores the intersection of architecture, public space, media, and performance within his work. His interactive video and sound installation uses radio equipment to allow participants to tune into any radio frequency between 150 kHz and 1.5 GHz by using their own bodies. According to the artist, he originally developed the piece in response to the Mexican Government shutting down informal or "pirate" radio stations in indigenous communities in the states of Chiapas and Guerrero. Organized by SFMOMA's Curator of Media Arts, Rudolf Frieling, Frequency and Volume, raises questions about who has access to public space, who controls public communication and is designed to visibly communicate the museum’s role as both a receiver and producer of frequencies in a larger network of Bay Area culture.
