I don't want to say anything against Frieder Nake, but I thought sexist language like this had gone the way of the dinosaur. "Founding fathers". Not only is this gender exclusionist but it also misrepresents history. There were "founding mothers" as well, some of whom were better artists than Nake (eg: in my opinion Vera Molnar did the best work with computers amongst the first generation of practitioners).
Why can't the language of this announcement be both less sexist and more concise - just say "founders"? I am astounded.
