Hi Netbehaviourists, In support of Ada Lovelace Day (highlighted by Marc and discussed a couple of weeks back) we are inviting all women who work in media arts and net art, who are not already subscribed, to join the NetBehaviour email list for a week between 23rd and 30th March.
We are asking them to squat the list for a week (of course we hope they'll stick around for longer:) and tell us about their work and that of other women who have inspired them in their own practice. This is not a separatist excercise; we want to hear from all of you so don't hold back. Posts are welcome in any length, format and frequency and we are not worrying about repeats or gaps. The following is offered as an example. ==================== MY NAME: Ruth Catlow URL: http://www.furtherfield.org/display_user.php?ID=14 INSPIRED BY: Ele Carpenter - http://www.elecarpenter.org.uk/ for tech inspired and facilitated participation with Open Source Embroidery, her curatorial project exploring artists practice that explores the relationship between programming for embroidery and computing. Auriea Harvey - for her part with Entropy8Zuper in early intimate networked performances http://entropy8zuper.org/wirefire and for Endless Forest, Tale of Tales's bucolic social screensaver http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest Mary Flanagan - for her energetic explorations as academic, educator, artist and programmer at the intersection of games, art and feminism and exploring collaborative approaches to thinking about values in http://www.valuesatplay.org/ ============================== At the end of the week we will collate all of the posts in the thread and feature them on Furtherfield.org. With all best wishes from Ruth and the Furtherfield crew ========================== *Ada Lovelace Day -bringing women in technology to the fore http://findingada.com/blog/2009/01/05/ada-lovelace-day/ sign a pledge to blog about inspirational women in tech on 24th March.
