W21 Women 21st century

W21 is a data-feminist participatory research platform focusing on post-feminism and intersectional practice in art, science, culture, and technology. We aim to map feminist practice and to write a collaborative manifesto for the digital era, with deep considerations of gender, class or race. The production and circulation of an annual questionnaire is at the core of our practice and research. W21 challenges the never-evolving nature of the archive, and its fixed discriminating taxonomy. The collected answers are processed by a software and reimagined as a navigable matrix. This ‘active data' will become the primary material for transmedia storytelling across multiple platforms, in the form of artists' commissions, essays, and panel discussions.
