Kameelah Janan Rasheed lecture for RISD Graphic Design’s Spring 2020 Lecture Series

Why? See ALL THE TAGS (and, if only, the fifty plus more that got cut off when posting).

Arecent researcher was so eager to consult Judy Malloy’s digital literature she was willing to bring along a vintage Apple to the Library. Thanks to the Museum’s Media Conservation team she didn’t have to–they set up an emulation instead.

Malloy has been experimenting with digital media since, well, the floppy disk era. A personal favorite is the “questionable database” Bad Information (1986-). Most recently she edited the print anthology Women, Art, and Technology(2003).

In addition to A Party in Woodside (1987) and numerous analog artists’ books, the Library holds a copy of Uncle Roger (1987), considered one of the first works of interactive fiction. -jt
