Abstract
Artists from the world of women have been forging their own paths since the 1970s, based on decisive commitments to the relationship between the arts and politics. The gender debate has been gradually taking shape within this new online space since the 1990s, which has encouraged some of these groups to create what has become known as “Cyberfeminism”. The utopian idea that the Internet could redefine the binary man-woman model based on queer tenets was soon abandoned but feminist net.art methodologies and works have continued to gain ground. This article explores these choices and analyses the breaks, both actual and possible, involved both on a social and artistic level. The case of artist Shu Lea Cheang, a collaborator in this research, is an example of an historical connection which began with the adoption of collaborative creative models, and ended with object art being replaced by digital art, driven by the internet context.
