WOMEN AND THE MACHINE

THE BASICS

This page is intended to list upcoming events -- appearances, a new publication, whatever.

You may want to hide this section as you construct your website so you can focus on other sections instead. (It may make sense to start with just three sections: a home page, My Works page and Biography).

To hide this or any section, click on the "Edit menu" box directly above the navigation bar (the bar that lists "Home, My Works, Biography," etc.) Click the appropriate "hide" buttons, and save the result.

This section, and any section, can also be renamed by using the "Edit menu" box. See the Help section in the toolbar at the top of the page for more information.

This information also appears in the Help section in the toolbar at the top of the page. Delete this entire entry by clicking the small blue "Delete" box that appears directly above this entry when you're in Edit Mode.

Events

Julie Wosk is a member of the Speakers Program sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities. Her lecture, which will next be presented in Ithaca, New York, is titled "Alluring Androids and Robots in Film, Photography, and Art." It is based on her new book ALLURING ROBOTS, ROBOT WOMEN, AND ELECTRONIC EVES, and showcases images of female robots, androids, automatons, dolls, mannequins, and other artificial women that seem alive. They include images by artists, photographers, filmmakers, robotics engineers.

The funded lecture is available to not-for-profit organizations in New York State. For more information, or to schedule the lecture in 2010, go to nyhumanities.org or contact Dr. Wosk.
