Guided tour in Austrian Sign Language: The First Computer was a Woman

Thu 17.04., 18h

Join a guided tour in Austrian Sign Language through the exhibition "Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991".

The guided tour with sign language interpreter Eva Böhm and art educator Martin Walkner sheds light on the revolutionary contribution of women in early computer art and addresses the often overlooked role of women who pioneered computer technology, software development and digital media art. The exhibition shows how these women not only drove technological innovation, but also created new forms of artistic expression with the computers that were emerging at the time. The tour offers an exciting insight into a little-known but crucial era in art history and reveals the links between technology and feminist thinking.

The guided tour is free with an exhibition ticket.
