Undaddy Mainframe

A dense, playful collage of retro computer imagery and manifesto text that feels like a witty, cerebral art experiment flashing past.

Dan Angeloro, Dominique Angeloro

Overview

Soda_Jerk's Undaddy Mainframe revisits the feminist malware of pioneering Australian art collective VNS Matrix. In this recombinant work the collective's seminal text 'A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century' (1991) is recoded via instructional computer videos of the 1990s. This project was commissioned for Forever Now, a 21st century collection of artworks created to communicate to outer space. It will take its place as utopian space junk, alongside the Voyager Record of 1977.
