MzTEK.org is a women's art and technology education and showcasing initiative, founded in 2009 by Sophie McDonald and Sally Northmore, in collaboration with Space Studios, with the aim of addressing the gender imbalance in it's field. It is a loose collection of women artists working with technology that come together to run workshops, talk series and showcases. We have worked in a variety of settings including art centres, museums, conferences, collages, and music festivals, to deliver fun, accessible creative technology workshops to women, and to the wider public. We have worked closely with partners including the V&A, Barbican, Space Studios and Access Space. This talk will present some of the major projects MzTEK has delivered since 2009 including Chi-TEK and Hacked Human Orchestra.
