Vicki,
I agree, and hey ladies, what are we/you waiting for? Let's participate in
the online discussion. Anyone can chime / barge / butt in and contribute. Go
for it. And please invite your friends and colleagues. The more female new
media curators/artists who make their voices heard the better. I think it would
be wonderful for us to imagine what a 21st C. Cybernetic Serendipity might
look like, and/or what a 1968 show might have looked like if women artists had
participated in it. There were apparently NO women artists in the original
1968 exhibition. Inspiring though that show was (I saw it) -- and Jasia
Reichardt was clearly a visionary -- there were surely some girls around then
making art with computers?
Per Annick Bureaud of Leonardo/OLATS, here's the url for the YASMIN
discussion group on "Cybernetic Serendipity Redux": _http://www.media.uoa.gr/yasmin/_

Well, yes, one can be light-hearted in response, but the fact remains that
the only woman formally involved in the discussion is the same one who
curated the original event... I for one would like to have believed that her
involvement in the mid-60's may have led to greater input by women into the
field a full two generations later. Sadly it appears not.
Cheers
Vicki
