Cotton, Michelle / Escritor
The publication accompanies the exhibition; a pre-internet era, historical survey of female artists who were either working with computer technologies, or taking up the subject of computing and cybernetics in their work. It documents a lesser-known history of the inception of digital art, countering conventional narratives on art and technology by focusing entirely on female figures. Published by Mudam Luxembourg, Kunsthalle Wien and Verlag der Buchhandlug Walther und Franz König, this extensive publication includes three new essays by Tina Rivers Ryan, Margit Rosen, and the exhibition's curator, Michelle Cotton. It also features a richly illustrated timeline covering the period between 1613 and 1991 and includes twenty-seven new interviews with artists and over 200 illustrations.Text: Rhea Dall, Ramona Heinlein, Hannah Marynissen, Astrid Peterle, Carlotta Pierleoni, Andrea Popelka, Clémentine Proby,Tina Rivers Ryan, Margit Rosen, Jade Saber, Bettina Steinbrügge.
