Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991 will be the first of a series of group surveys based on original research. It presents the work of approximately fifty artists including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, film and a large number of computer-generated drawings and texts. This exhibition adopts a feminist perspective on the history of artists’ experiments in the pre-internet era of computing.
The exhibition Radical Software: Women, Art and Computing 1960-1991 is curated by Michelle Cotton and organized by Kunstalle Wien, Vienna, and Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean.
