Summer 2014: Momentum: Women/Art/Technology Project
Momentum: Women/Art/Technology focuses on the concepts, innovations, and impact of women artists who embrace technology as their mode of personal expression. The title, Momentum: Women/Art/Technology, sums up the theme of a series of programs, including an exhibition at Mason Gross Galleries, and refers to the fact that women artists have been not only partly responsible for establishing the field of new media, but also responsible for moving forward within the field. Momentum will include the work of emerging as well as established artists to demonstrate how women have, and are, consistently pushing the boundaries of artistic vision through digital language over time. There will be physical installations in the gallery complimented by live feeds emanating from the internet, projected into the gallery. The interactive website facilitates the global exchange by networking gallery viewers to an online audience. Check the website for updates and the schedule of events www.momentum-women-art-technology.com/.
Funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
