Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
My Ada Lovelace Day suggestions. I have more to post today as well... My name - Marc Garrett. http://www.furtherfield.org Anne-Marie Schleiner Velvet-Strike. http://www.opensorcery.net/velvet-strike - A collection of spray paints to use as graffiti on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the popular network shooter terrorism game Counter-Strike, conceptualized during the beginning of Bush’s War on Terrorism. ...part of a growing movement to bring a message of peace, love and happiness to online shooters by any means necessary. Graphical User Intervention, a more radical group of protesters, will go so far as to sacrifice their characters for the greater cause of getting out a message of non-violence. Wired. When this appeared on the net art scene in 2002 I completely understood and appreciate why Anne-marie used her computing and art skills to embark in such a dynamic interventionist tactic, in challenging the psychology, attitudes and fetish around violence and war in the form of interventionist, networked play. It had to be done, especially in contrast to the overwhelming experience of witnessing our governments and media falling into the typical trappings of opting for more violence to (supposedly) solve terrorism. I personally, found it all extremely frustrating seeing the world torn apart by other (slack) males, as well as those who bought into. This is also one of the various anti-war net artworks, which inspired me to make some of my own anti-war net art-works. --- Aileen Deirig Aileen, for her dedication in being part of and supporting various contemporary, independent groups and organisations; many involving women where she has selflessly shared her energy, ideas and varied skills, whether it be in programming, writing or social engagement. A collaborator who genuinely incorporates her personal, social and contextual beliefs into her everyday life and practice. I also admire her intelligence in understanding that art is not just about product, but also fluid place where contemporary factors such as feminism, politics, technology and human context all have a place, allow agency. Some of the projects that Aileen has been involved with are Genderchangers - http://genderchangers.org, the faces list - http://www.faces-l.net/, the Servus blog - http://core.servus.at/node/164, the Furtherfield blog - http://blog.furtherfield.org (thanks Aileen), Monochrome Blog - http://www.monochrom.at/english, and more.

[NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in support of Ada Lovelace Day - posts list
In support of Ada Lovelace Day we invited all women who work in media arts and net art, who were not already subscribed, to join the NetBehaviour email list for a week between 23rd and 30th March. We asked all of them to contribute by listing some of the women that had inspired them. We promised to collate all the posts and so we did. Here is the result. Thanks to all of those - women and men - who have contributed to this tribute! --- MY NAME: Ruth Catlow URL: http://www.furtherfield.org/display_user.php?ID=14 INSPIRED BY Ele Carpenter 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. http://www.elecarpenter.org.uk/ 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/ --- MY NAME: netwurker_mez/][mez][[oz.org]/gossama[WoW-Bloodscalp]/bowwtoxx[WoW-Demon Soul]/netwurker_twin[Second Life]/mez breeze [geolocative] URL: http://mezbreeze.com INSPIRED BY Linda Dement 4 her incredible early visual x-periments with trauma + lust + and the visc[f]eral. http://www.lindadement.com/ Virginia Barratt 4 her early-90's inspiration/queer theory + pioneering cyberfeminist work[s] + now 4 her ongoing commitment 2 micro-ecodevelopment. http://mybigbackyard.blogsome.com Kathy Acker 4 her pre-emptive writerly mashup-tech[niques] + taking head-on the copyright industry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Acker --- MY NAME: Karen Blissett INSPIRED BY Sadie Plant I love her work, especially 'Zeros + Ones, Digital Women + The New Technoculture'. Sadie Plant introduces Ada Lovelace as a woman whose awareness of peripheries, of indices, headings, prefaces, etc. gave her a new way of perceiving reality. In her footnoted, non-fictional texts, these peripheral details were crucial in contextualizing the texts in historical and social reality. Laura Lee. Laura's review on the book. http://www.cyberartsweb.org/cpace/body/lgl1.html Francesca da Rimini I have always enjoyed Francesca's net art work as well as her other works/collaborations to do with networked culture. Francesca da Rimini, aka GashGirl, (Adelaide/Rome) has been working in the field of new media since 1984 as an arts manager, curator, corporate geisha girl, cyberfeminist, puppet mistress and ghost. One of the original members of VNS Matrix, the Australian cyberfeminism group formed in 1991. Worked in New York on a project in collaboration with Michael Grimm, snafu and Ricardo Dominguez, los dias y las noches del muertos, and with Ricardo Dominguez on hauntings. Squandered hours investigating the artistic and erotic potential of negotiated email relationships, online virtual communities and web-based narrative architectures that have been reverse engineered into multiple immaterialities. http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors/dariminibio.html Ruth Catlow I know, but she's cool. And has been incredible in supporting other emerging artists as well as maintaining in still making interesting and challenging artwork with technology. One project springs to mind - 'Rethinking Wargames', a participative net art project instigated by Ruth Catlow of which calls for 'pawns to join forces to defend world peace'. It uses the game of chess to find strategies that challenge existing power structures and their concomitant war machineries. http://www.low-fi.org.uk/rethinkingwargames/ Hope Kurtz (1959-2004) Such a talent. I remember seeing Hope perform in Amsterdam in 95 or 96, at the Next Five Minutes Conference - I was mesmerized by her articulation and excellent performance presence, and imaginitive intelligence. Hope worked behind the scenes of the CAE collective by contributing to the conceptual basis for their work. It is through her brilliant editing that their work articulates challenging concepts to a multifarious audience many of whom might not otherwise come into contact with such radical thought. The Ensemble collectively authored several books including Electronic Civil Disobedience and other unpopular Ideas... http://www.thebrooklynrail.org/arts/july04/hopekurtz.html The Critical Art Ensemble site - http://www.critical-art.net/ --- MY NAME: Tatiana Wells Free software/media artist and activist from brazil.

My name: Nina Gazire Url: http://blog.premiosergiomotta.org.br/ Inspired By: Hanne Darboven http://www.cmoa.org/international/html/art/darboven.htm Since the 1960s, Hanne Darboven has focused her art-making on daily writings that chronicle existence and evoke the passage of time. The 2,782 typed and hand-written daily writings or drawings that make up Leben, leben/Life, living represent Darboven’s systematic approach to counting the years 1900 to 1999. These drawings make visible two orders of time: the actual time taken to create them and the historical time that they summarize. Darboven asserts the presentness of time by marking its passage in a literal form that also takes up volumetric space when the writings are installed in a large gallery. The work also includes two dollhouses that are part of Darboven’s extensive collection of popular artifacts. The houses, photos of which are included in the installation, also mark time as one represents a nineteenth-century German home and the other a house from the 1950s. Donna Haraway Donna J.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
Although I wrote a short blog post about my grandmother on our family blog for Ada Lovelace Day earlier this week, I am happy to take advantage of Ruth and Marc's invitation to mention some of the women who have inspired and encouraged me - this is the short version in comparison with what has been going through my mind: My name: Aileen Derieg I work as a translator with an emphasis on Contemporary Art and New Media. My web site: http://eliot.at Inspired by: Judith Butler Again and again, reading Judith Butler's books has helped me to feel not quite so powerless in a world that I do not agree with. The way she questions things that seem to be taken for granted, proposing radically different ways of understanding the world that make so much more sense – her books are certainly among the most important I have read in my life. http://rhetoric.berkeley.edu/faculty_bios/judith_butler.html Faith Wilding A description I read many years ago as a young student of Faith Wilding's Invitation to a Burning was what first captured my attention and awakened my interest in Faith and her work. Years later I was even more impressed to realize how she had continued to develop and evolve her work and ideas. When I first joined the Faces mailing list in the late 90s, I nearly fell off my chair when the first response to my introduction was a personal welcome from Faith. Having admired and looked up to this woman for so long, I was deeply touched by her response. A few years ago, in the midst of a conflict, when I was feeling sad and low, I was standing at a window looking down on an empty space, which made me think of Invitation to a Burning again. I wrote to Faith then and told her how sad I felt, how I missed the kind of exhilarating actions that have meanwhile become part of art history. I was very grateful for and encouraged by her response. To me, she is not only a fascinating and inspiring artist and an intelligent and thoughtful writer, but also a wise woman. http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/fwild/faithwilding/ Margarete Jahrmann I first became aware of Margarete through the Poptarts section of Telepolis that she and Kathy Rae Huffman were responsible for, so I think in many ways Margarete was really the one who first introduced me to the possibilities of feminist digital art. What I especially love about her work is the way all the many layers are ultimately transparent. Even though some of her writing may appear confusing at first glance, there is a depth and fundamental coherence to it that I find fascinating. As engaging as her work is at a first look, as often as I come back to it and look again, I invariably find there is always even more to it. http://www.konsum.net/ http://www.ludic-society.net Amy Alexander Like Margarete, Amy is someone I admired first, long before I had the pleasure of becoming personally acquainted with her. The first time I heard of Amy's work was when she received an Honorary Mention in the Prix Ars Electronica for the Multicultural Recycler. When we later met through the Faces mailing list, I thoroughly enjoyed her sense of humor and her delightfully geeky interests. As we have stayed in contact since then, this is what I continue to especially appreciate and enjoy. What I love about Amy's work is the way the humor, the not-so-serious view of things, is rooted in a very serious and well founded understanding of the issues at stake. She has an amazing ability to grasp complex issues and condense them into concise and witty statements. http://amy-alexander.com/ Paula Graham Some years ago there was an interesting thread on the Linuxchix issues mailing list about how the women subscribed to the list became involved in computing. All the stories were wonderful to read, but the one that completely blew me away was Paula Graham's. Not very long after that, I had the great pleasure of meeting Paula at the Eclectic Tech Carnival in Graz, and she has been very high on my personal list of most admired women ever since. I'm not sure whether Paula actually invented the term accidental techie, but she is certainly the person I learned it from, meaning that when any kind of group reaches the point where they need to use technology, *somebody* has to figure out how to do it. Paula is most insistent about convincing other women to be self-confident and self-reliant enough – no matter what their background – to become that *somebody*. One of the most important lessons I have learned from Paula is that women don't always need to be nice, and that can be quite a liberating insight. http://www.opengender.org.uk/ http://bastubis.wordpress.com/ -- In so many words: http://eliot.at ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
Hi All! I've had this on my to do list all week and am finally getting to it... Some of mine have already been mentioned, but I hope it doesn't hurt to mention them again... MY NAME: Rachel Beth Egenhoefer URL: www.rachelbeth.net 5 WOMEN I THINK ARE AMAZING: Katherine Hayles I know she's been mentioned already... How we became Post Human is one of my favorite books. In addition to being incredibly smart, ahead of the curve, able to make an argument and stand by it, I can say from personal experience that she is one of the most lovely academics to meet in person. I had the honor of working with her when she was at UCLA and I was always amazed at how down to earth and easy going she was. Able to sip a soda, make jokes, and talk about the news, and then go right into intense theory about the printing press and reading novels on mobile phones. FYI, she is now at Duke University - http://fds.duke.edu/db/aas/ Literature/n.hayles Martha Rosler In one of my very first video classes back in undergrad we watched Semiotics of the Kitchen and I was hooked. Today some of my students find this video boring (not enough whiz bang for them I guess) and it frustrated me that they can't put themselves in the time period that it was made and see it as an exploration of trying to figure out what the medium was and what it could do. In addition to her early videos she has written and edited numerous essays and books. She is still making work in New York and teaching at Rutgers University. Sandy Stone (aka Allucquere Rosanne Stone) Along with Sadie Plant who has already been mentioned, her texts are some of my favorites. Split Subjects, Not Atoms; or, How I Fell in Love with My Prosthesis is an oldie but a goodie and I think way ahead of it's time. I think she brings an interesting addition to the list as a transgendered individual. Her semi-new website it pretty amusing... http://sandystone.com Margaret Morse Video Installation Art: The Body, the Image, and the Space-in- between is a wonderful little easy she wrote that is in a book illuminating Video. I ready this years ago and still come back to it. I think that video should be dropped from the title as it really speaks to a lot of different kinds of art forms and how we view them, create them, display them, etc. She of course has many other texts as well, all written very intelligently but accessible. Sue Gollifer This email wouldn't fit in your inbox if I listed everything Sue has a hand in. To name a few she is either on the board/ a member of/ holds a position in ISEA, SIGGRAPH, CAA (College Arts Association), Computer Arts Society (CAS), DACS (Design and Artist Copyright Society), Lighthouse Brighton, and many many more, all while also heading the MA in Digital Arts at the University of Brighton, working with Digital Printmaking, writing, making, and yes she has pink hair. Sue is no-nonsense, tells it like it is, gets things done, is amazingly successful, and yet still has a ton of fun, and is incredibly kind and generous. http://artsresearch.brighton.ac.uk/research/academic/gollifer And lastly as one extra... I'd like to add Ada's mother - Anna Isabella Noel Byron. She is the one who raised Ada and encouraged her to study math and science instead of literature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Isabella_Milbanke Happy Ada Day/ Week!

Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
Rachel Beth, this is a fantastic list! Imagining that these women inspire you, I am even more pleased to think of you teaching at the University of San Francisco - where I started learning programming in basic in 1977, at which point it was made quite clear to me that as a female liberal arts student (dressed in the uniform of the day for intellectual women, namely tattered jeans and my brothers' old shirts), I was anything but welcome in the computer science department. I can easily imagine you inspiring your students today - and passing on that kind of inspiration is what really matters. Now that I have finally subscribed to this mailing list, I have a list of inspiring women in my head as well - just need to get it into a non-telepathic form.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
Hi Marc, Thank you for your response to my own propositions for Ada Lovelace Day. Even though, as you mention the external links to the Laura Lee article about Sadie Plant's publication 'Zeros + Ones, Digital Women + The New Technoculture', are dead now. I found the text that Laura wrote extremely interesting as valuable context, especially these words Viewing the world as a system of all-inclusive interconnectivity, what were once isolated words, numbers, music, shapes, smells, tactile textures, architectures (Plant, 12) are now threaded together by their material essences. The yarn is neither metaphorical nor literal, but quite simply material. Plant suggests that the world becomes one immersive reality in which all things relate in a structure that does not denote one thing as less important than another. Perceiving the world as a network, each part can dismantle the whole structure, like a removing a string from a woven blanket. When we surf the web, we transgress through multiple texts and perspectives, digital images and architectures that form our cohesiveness of the cyberworld as a whole. Any missing link can change the whole structure. I think that Sadie is an important individual for media art culture generally, and she just so happens to be female, although a decent one and also beautiful writer. Also, I am glad that you brought up Francesca da Rimini's other work with VNS Matrix. They started in 1991, wow - time has moved on... I do have a question!

One of the original members of VNS Matrix, the Australian cyberfeminism group formed in 1991. Worked in New York on a project in collaboration with Michael Grimm, snafu and Ricardo Dominguez, los dias y las noches del muertos, and with Ricardo Dominguez on hauntings.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
Hello Karen, I (of course) agree with what you say about Lara Lee's text on Sadie Plant's 'Zeros + Ones, Digital Women + The New Technoculture'... My most fave, fave, fave book by Sadie Plant is 'The most radical gesture - The Situationist International in a postmodern age '. I have reread the book many times and it is a great resource on the history of Dada, Situationism, Fluxus ..Situationist theory can be made to perform in the big top of critical theory to great effect: it can expose the complacency and superficiality of much contemporary thought, jump through the same intellectual hoops and stand up to academic scrutiny. But unlike those theories to which it can be compared, it is merely playing in this role. It demands practical realisation, and is a theory which was only made possible by the acts of rebellion, subversion, and negation which foreshadowed it and continue to assert the discontent and disrespect inspired by the economic, social, and discursive relations which define contemporary capitalism. Nevertheless, the Situationist International has been ignored by its detractors and protected by those attracted to it for too long... http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t732861336~db=all chat later marc Hi Marc, Thank you for your response to my own propositions for Ada Lovelace Day.

hi all, MY NAME: Sarah Cook URL: www.sarahcook.info; www.crumbweb.org INSPIRED BY Sara Diamond, Susan Kennard and the many great ladies of the Banff New Media Institute (you all know who you are!) - http:// www.banffcentre.ca/bnmi For organising and producing amazing future-forecasting interdisciplinary rigourously researched events and exhibitions in the field of new media, commissioning artists, building labs and platforms and generally encouraging an atmosphere of knowledge- sharing. I've met some of the most important people in my career from my time spent at Banff working for and with Sara and Susan; I owe much to them both, and they know it ;-) Kathy Rae Huffman - http://www.faces-l.net/en/user/10 For opening her filofax to me within minutes of our first meeting, at my first visit to Ars Electronica, giving me names and phone numbers and subsequently introducing me to artists and cultural producers. Until that point every curator I had met was quite closed about their research and their social network and Kathy completely obliterated that museum-influenced impression that curating was about gate- keeping. She continues to inspire me by her very honest, ethical and straightforward working method, for not playing the power games so prevalent in the art world, for the early work she did for women in new media in the 1990s, for undertaking one of the first postgraduate courses in curating (actually Exhibition Design and later Museum Studies) and being (and I was also on my MA curating course) one of the few who wanted to work with media artists. Alison Craighead - http://www.thomson-craighead.net For her (collaborative) art work, for being an absolute delight to work with, for helping me question and refine my commitment to new media, to art, to installation, to gallery-museum based practice, to collections, to archives, and to the web. (And together with Jon for teaching me about whisky, how to handle relationship breakups, how to be nice to strangers, how to shop online, how to be a minimalist, how to live and eat well, and where to get the best British change purses and German unctions). Marina Hyde - http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/marinahyde For writing so smartly, sardonically, and delightfully about three of my favourite things to read about in the paper/online: politics, sport, and celebrity. On days I wish I were a journalist or blogger rather than a curator (which are many), contributing in an immediate and wide-ranging way to debates which can change minds about popular culture and media, I wish I could be like her. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

She’s just so natural about it all (and such a good sport fielding all those awkward questions). Hearing her talk about music and computers so enthusiastically makes me swoon. *Mentorship support:* To the sound-focused, studio-loving, women that I have met in recent years here in Toronto, who have extended encouragement for my own music sound studio practice: Laurel Macdonald: http://www.improbablemusic.com/laurel/index.html Anne Bourne (a student of Oliveros): http://www.openears.ca/2005_site/2005/westerkamp.htm Wende Bartley: http://www.naisa.ca/deepwireless/2002/bartley.html *Camaraderie Peers:* I am so thankful that it seems that I meet more and more women every day who are either pursuing or asking about electronic music, recording, film editing, programming, etc. I am especially thankful for my friends Eiyn Sof and Building Castles Out of Matchsticks, (did I really have to wait 30 years to find peers?): http://www.myspace.com/eiynsof http://www.myspace.com/buildingcastlesoutofmatchsticks *Current Inspiration:* To Juana Molina for stepping out of a successful acting career into a career making beautiful, unselfconscious, electronically manipulated folk music. To me she has re-defined to archetype of the mad-scientist electronic music ‘guy’, into a steady, feminine, force (especially with her elaborate one-woman live step-up!). http://www.myspace.com/juanamolina *Honorary mentions: * Brenda Laurel (an early role-model in my interest in human-computer interaction) http://tauzero.com/Brenda_Laurel/BrendaBio.html To the supportive men I’ve met along the way, who have treated me as equal, showed interest in my work and extended opportunities my way.
