Momentum: Women/Art/Technology
An exploration into the intersection of technology, art practice, and feminism.
Momentum: Women/Art/Technology presents innovative uses of technology utilized and advanced by women and transgender artists through exhibitions, symposia, film screenings, and public discussions. Since 2011, Momentum artists have challenged gender-biased notions of who employs technology and showcased women artists' sustained ability to break new ground in uncharted artistic realms.
Momentum concludes with a two-part exhibition series and catalog with an essay by art historian Anne Swartz; an online festival of video works entitled MTV: Momentum Technology Videos; and the launch of the Momentum Directory, a networking gateway linking the public to women and transgender artists who embrace varied technologies in their artistic production, and other arts professionals who engage in critical explorations in the field of gender, feminism, art, and technology.
