Computer Grrrlz brings together 23 international artistic positions
that negotiate the complex relationship between gender and
technology in past and present. The book deals with the link
between women and technology from the first human computers to the
current revival of techno-feminist movements. An illustrated
timeline with over 200 entries covers these developments from the
18th century to the present day. The publication presents artists,
hackers, makers and researchers who are working on how to think
differently about technology: by questioning the gender bias in big
data and artificial intelligence, promoting an open and diversified
Internet, and designing utopian technologies. The perspectives
presented here address a broad range of topics: electronic
colonialism, the place of minorities on the Internet, the sexist
bias of algorithms, the dangerous dominance of white men in the
development of artificial intelligence and digital surveillance,
but also ideas on how we can change our traditional ways of
thinking. Artists included: Morehshin Allahyari, Manetta Berends,
Zach Blas & Jemima Wyman, Nadja Buttendorf, Elisabeth
Caravella, Jennifer Chan, Aleksandra Domanović, Louise Drulhe,
Elisa Giardina Papa, Darsha Hewitt, Lauren Huret, Hyphen-Labs,
Dasha Ilina, Roberte la Rousse, Mary Maggic, Caroline Martel,
Lauren Moffatt, Simone C. Niquille, Jenny Odell, Tabita Rezaire,
Erica Scourti, Suzanne Treister, Lu Yang. Text in English and
German.
