“Warped wefts and Short Circuits”
THE ART AND MEDIA PROJECT (AMP) is a multi-year series of lectures and publications sponsored by the Department of the History of Art at Yale University. AMP is a platform for artists, scholars, curators and critics to reflect upon the most pressing questions informing the relationship between art, media and technology today. Each year of the program will be devoted to a single theme, explored from diverse perspectives and approaches, followed by a publication showcasing
the results of our collective findings.
The theme this year is Gender Technologies and Intersectional Code.
Some 35 years after Donna Haraway published her groundbreaking manifesto on feminism and cyborg subjectivity, the topic of gender, media and technology has acquired greater significance and urgency relative to race, ethnicity, ability and sexuality. Artists, curators and scholars have radically interrogated the intertwined interests of race, gender and techno-culture; and the subject positions assumed within and by this dynamic.
