ABSTRACT
Online platforms and exhibitions are a significant form of digital art history and have become important sites of feminist activity. Broadly, these take the following forms: online indices of female artists and feminist exhibitions; exhibitions of work by women realized solely on online platforms; websites that are constructed to accompany feminist exhibitions; and social media platforms created for the presentation and discussion of art by women. Presence and visibility online is essential for artists and institutions. Consequently, dedicated websites that accompany museum exhibitions have been a key output in the realization of major feminist survey exhibitions. These “blockbuster” feminist shows, as Hilary Robinson has noted, had a surge of popularity in major Western museums between 2005 and 2011. Various collectives and research groups have arisen over the past decade that interrogate contemporary technologies from a feminist perspective and create communities that share resources about relationships between technology, pedagogy, arts, and culture.
