This article surveys both pioneer accomplishments and contemporary works by Brazilian women media artists ranging from electro-acoustic music to neon light, holography, cinema, experimental film, video, photography, kinetic and multimedia performances and installations, virtual worlds, and Web-based cultural activism. It begins with a discussion of the controversial issue of gender in Brazil, weaving social, aesthetic, and epistemological concerns. As a general rule, the artists examined here did not explore women's issues as a project nor were they interested in feminist issues per se. Nevertheless, they contributed to the advancement of media arts in Brazil with critical feminine perspectives. This overview, despite the large number or artists, is by no means a complete survey, but rather a first assessment, which will hopefully instigate further research.Downloads
