Reminder this Thursday, April 17 at 3:30 pm, MEET AT STROZIER!

Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
Thursday, April 17th, 2014
3:30 – 5:30 PM
Strozier Library, First Floor
Rooms 107A, 106C, 106B, 106A

Students and Faculty! Join us at Strozier Library for an all communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to contemporary art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian and reference materials.

For editing-averse, we urge you to stop by and show your support.

Today:

  1. Pecha Kuchas (Brittany and Rebecca)
  2. Movie Woman Art Revolution / return presentation feedback
  3. Class evaluation forms

Before today, you should have…

Started wikipedia page or expand a page. Instructions from our in-class ppt in a pdf uploaded here: http://joelledietrick.com/teaching/history_art_tech/ppt/wikipedia-directions.pdf
Post link to your female new media in response to this post.

A few more instructions (have been asked about how extensive to make):

  1. I personally would collaborate with two other people on a page.
  2. See Barbara Kruger as an example. For this class, I would expect the page to have at least the intro paragraph, an infobox and artwork with at least three sources. If collaborating with someone else, they could complete 3 more paragraphs (i.e. books on the artist, exhibitions, and awards). All additions need cited.

Also respond to our readings on the gender gap in tech with the usual quote, comment, question, link structure.

Here’s the readings (the first one is actually a podcast and so good!):

•   “How One College Is Closing The Computer Science Gender Gap.” Narr. Wendy Kaufman. All Things Considered.  NPR. Natl. Public Radio. Web. 01 May 2013.
•   Rüst, Annina. “Feminist Internet Software.” Tracing New/Media/Feminisms. New York: New Media Caucus. 2013.

Watch

•   Tech Feminist pioneers, like Laurie Anderson, Joan Jonas, Martha Rosler, Lynn Hershman,  Cheryl Donnegan (3:01), Annina Rüst, Wack, Blyth Hazen, Helen Mayer Harrison, Jennifer Hall, Monika Fleischmann, Char Davies, Rebeca Méndez, Diana Thater, Jennifer Steinkamp, MoMA on Modern Women
