VENUS RISING LAUNCH
CYBERSALON @ THE DANA CENTRE
Toys for the boys? Bling for the girls? Does it really break
down that neatly when it comes to gender and technology?
Cybersalon launches Venus Rising to engage the general public
in discussions with technologists, designers, artists and
scientists in a debate about technology posing the question, can
we shift the cultural image and language of technology towards
the feminine?
If we assume that women use technology differently from men,
then it follows that their approach to design and innovation
would differ as well. In a field dominated by males, are we
properly recognising the contributions and perspectives from the
female innovators? Join us on 19 April to kick off the
debate.
Speakers:
Dr. Lizbeth Goodman, Director of The Smartlab Centre, Central
Saint Martins College of Art Design
Andi Stamp, Director of Melt, previously of b.tv and organiser
of Shooting Live Artists
Sponsored by IBM.
