FROM CYBERFEMINISM
UNTIL NOW
Kathy Rae Huffman 

Eva Ursprung was a pioneer of early cyberfeminism and was in close contact with Kathy Rae Huffman, who is internationally recognized as an expert in the field.

Cyberfeminism emerged in the early 1990s as a women-centered, transnational concept that combined both theoretical and practical approaches. It brought women and gender-marginalized individuals together in online forums, artistic projects, and digital interventions, establishing female perspectives and spheres of influence within a strongly male-dominated technological field. Cyberfeminism saw itself not only as a critical theory, but also as an active practice that made targeted use of digital technologies to question and reshape existing power relations.

This presentation introduces key examples of influential feminist art and media practice — from the work of the VNS Matrix collective and the early days of cyberculture to contemporary forms of feminist activism in the digital space. It also highlights cyberfeminism’s powerful critique of the power of global platform companies, algorithmic and AI-driven cultures, and colonial strategies that perpetuate global inequalities.
