Art exhibit shines light on women’s role in technologies that power modern life
A new exhibition titled "Motherboards" at the San Jose Museum of Art highlights the overlooked contributions of women to the technologies that shape modern life. The show features digital artists from California and beyond, including Rhonda Holberton and Sarah Buckius, whose works draw connections between Silicon Valley's laboratories and the generations of labor women have performed in factories, offices, and homes. Holberton's piece incorporates a 3D-printed plum branch and Ada Lovelace's algorithm, while Buckius's digital collages include early technology patents filed by women.
