Digital Power exhibition at SIGGRAPH

My video, Pattern : Code, is part of the exhibition Digital Power: Activism, Advocacy and the Influence of Women Online, presented as part of the 2020 ACM SIGGRAPH conference. Organized by Kathy Rae Huffman, Digital Power inspires, empowers, and supports women, through a juried selection of visionary digital content providers: artists, storytellers, researchers, performers, historians, designers, gamers, film/video makers, communicators and writers. I’m honored to be included in this amazing, inter-generational, multi-ethnic group of women.

Pattern : Code reactivates the innate connections between weaving and computing, and examines the interrelationships between technology, craft, and women’s labor. Archival footage from industrial weaving and computer operations  is edited together and overlaid with weaving and punch card patterns in order to create a comparison of modes of technological production by women in factories and offices.
