This program brings together artists, curators, and writers in the U.S. and Asia who were involved in cyberfeminist conversations on and offline during the early 2000’s, including artists exhibiting in feminist contexts, moderators of feminist discussion lists and organizers of cyberarts labs. In addition to parsing feminist interventions into cyberculture—including postcolonial critiques of virtuality and biotech, the material life of the internet and questions of reproduction and labor—the panel will also reflect on historical returns to and reconstructions of these contexts today. Speakers include Irina Aristarkhova, Maria Fernández, Mindy Seu, and Margaret Tan.
This program is curated by Jeannine Tang as part of the Singapore Biennale 2022 named Natasha, organized by the Singapore Art Museum, with support from SAM Residencies. Co-presented with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School, New York.
