Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991
20 Sep 2024 — 2 Feb 2025 at Kunsthalle Wien
· Vienna
Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991 is a 2024 exhibition at Mudam (Musee d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg) that shines a light on the groundbreaking work of women artists who helped shape the field of computer-based art over three transformative decades.
Spanning the years 1960 to 1991, the exhibition brings together works that demonstrate how women were not merely participants but true pioneers in the development of digital and computational art. At a time when access to technology was limited and the field was largely male-dominated, these artists pushed boundaries, challenged conventions, and produced work of lasting conceptual and aesthetic significance.
Through a rich selection of artworks, documents, and archival materials, Radical Software invites visitors to rediscover a vital and often overlooked chapter in the history of art and technology.
