Women in Media Arts – Your Entries

The project aims to catalog information about women artists and their works, especially the ones who use digital media as their artistic tools and means of expression. The project makes this information available to the public to improve career opportunities and the public perception of females in media arts.
The project was started with information about women who have made a mark on the 40-year history of Ars Electronica. Now, the project is open to the public—users are called upon to contribute entries about female media artists. It is still a work in progress and will be updated frequently. The source of entries done by Ars Electronica is the Ars Electronica Archive.

You need to log in to create new entries or to change existing ones. Please enter at least one artwork to be displayed in the database. You can get back to the Women in Media Arts Database here. If you want to get in contact with us, please send an e-mail to archive@ars.electronica.art
