They had a T-shirt with the cover of Radical Software issue one at the front desk. I flung money at them at a frightening velocity.

After today's class I wandered over to the exhibition Radical Software - Women Art & Computing 1960-1991 at Kunsthalle Wien.

It ticked all of the boxes from the Jasia Reichardt's Cybernetic Serendipity to Beryl Korot's Radical Software, through 80s personal computing into early 90s intimations of rave and media explosion.

"Using video recording technology, the citizens of Rosedale, once referred to as "the rear end of Alberta" by a frustrated citizen, pulled themselves together as a community. They formed a citizens' action committee, cleaned up the town, built a park, and negotiated with the government to install gas, water and sewage systems. And all this happened within five months".

"This short film was an experiment in using video recordings and closed circuit television to stimulate social action in a poor Montreal neighbourhood. A citizen's committee filmed people's concerns and then played back the tapes for the community. Upon recognizing their common problems, people began to talk about joint solutions. It proved an important and effective method of promoting social change".

Love this Kunsthalle Wien museum exhibition!

"Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991 examines the pioneering role of women in digital art. It presents works by artists who were among the first to use the computer – mainframe and minicomputers – as a tool for artmaking."
