Ends Nov 9, 2024
In conjunction with Betye Saar’s Mojotech exhibition for Getty’s PST ART: Art and Science Collide, Roberts Projects will hold a panel discussion on the intersections between gender, art and technology that have emerged over the last five decades. The title Dear Genius is taken from a letter sent to Betye Saar by her friend, Dr. Helen Anderson, when Mojotech opened at MIT’s List Visual Arts Center in 1987.
How have recent feminist movements influenced—and been influenced by—the digital revolution? Can technology bring us closer to a world free from gender-based discrimination? And what does a female tech-genius look like? Coming together from different artistic and research fields, these panelists will discuss the ways they have used technology in their own creative practices, the very real challenges it presents and the rich potential it embodies for the future.
Panelists are Nancy Baker Cahill, Sarah Rosalena and Mindy Seu, with Jori Finkel as moderator.
The conversation will be open to the public with Betye Saar in attendance. On view during the event will be additional artworks by Saar that demonstrate her longstanding interest in using technological components in her practice.
