International Symposium
“Living with Two Brains: Women in AI and New Media Art” Day 1
MACHINE LOVE: Video Game, AI and Contemporary Art Related Program
* Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation available
To commemorate the opening of the Machine Love: Video Game, AI and Contemporary Art exhibition, this symposium will feature women and non-binary artists contributing to new media art across different regions and cultures from the 1960s onward.
The participating researchers, artists and curators will discuss how women artists have responded to technological developments through experimentation with, and appropriation of new media, thereby shaping innovative artistic forms and bringing new perspectives. They will also examine the effects of these technologies on the perception of gender, women’s bodies and their roles in society based on the artists’ works and ideas.
Drawing on cyberfeminist thought, the symposium will consider both the opportunities and risks that new media represent for women and artists whose voices have received little attention in dominant narratives of art history.
This event is part of the research program “Living with two brains: Women in New Media Art, 1960s-1990s,” led by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions.
