In response to both the current political climate and recent reporting into
the gender gap in the tech industry, this panel will discuss still
comparatively low percentage of women in the art tech world. Prompted by
concerned academics, curators and the public, panelists will give short
presentations of their work with commentary on their early access to
technology, mentors and other support structures that helped them to create
significant artwork. Discussion after the presentations will focus on how,
going forward, we can support younger, female and trans new media artists,
particularly artists of color. Discussions will consider Kimberlé Williams
Crenshaw’s ideas about intersectionality and its insistence on finding
productive ways to discuss gender, race, class, disability and other forms
of identity.
