Hello NBers, This looks like a good cause run by some excellent women in art and tek.
>>Our aim is to promote women's contributions to technology in the arts. What >>better way than through highly visible and fun events and workshops? We need >>your finical support to ensure this goes off with the bang it deserves. Please visit our funding page at http://www.indiegogo.com/Chi-TEK<< Last night I was flicking through a heap of old Linux Format magazines. Women are not well represented. In 6 magazines, Heather Corcoran was interviewed about her involvement in Goto10 (a high-point), there was an interview with Linus Torvald's mum and a cheerie looking model answering the phone featured in a tech services ad. The only regular column written by a woman featured a rant about how women should get over themselves, not be so politically correct and deal with sexist jokes on techie forum. This is all a bit annoying but on the up-side I have just secured the Art and Design Studios at WSD, Writtle College, (www.furtherfield.org/inspiwrit) as the venue for the Chelmer Linux User group.Peer learning for artists, designers, technologists and thinkers of all genders - getting our hands dirty together: ) Anyone in the Chelmsford area interested get in touch. don't forget to support mztek! : ) Ruth > Dear Friends > > This autumn MzTEK will be launching Chi-TEK, a celebration of women > working at the intersection of art and technology. > > Chi-TEK will bring an inspiring showcase of technically modified teapots > to the V&A Sackler Centre, tea related workshops, and the Chi-TEK Tea > Party, which you are invite to. > > Our aim is to promote women's contributions to technology in the arts. > What better way than through highly visible and fun events and workshops? > > We need your finical support to ensure this goes off with the bang it > deserves. > > Please visit our funding page at http://www.indiegogo.com/Chi-TEK > > What ever you can offer will be sincerely appreciated. > > Leave us a comment on our funding page to help us get featured on the > front page of indieGoGo, to reach an even wider audience. > > There are perks for your contribution too - limited edition Chi-TEK > badges, tea towels and mugs.
