“Women as Technology”, Design Museum Den Bosch
Sexdolls
Calculators, homemakers, incubators and pleasure machines.
Women as technology presents four potential roles for women that are as significant as they are problematic: women as homemakers, women as calculators, women as incubators and women as pleasure machines. The exhibition highlights the ambivalent relationship between women and technology and how these roles have in part been shaped by it. Technology itself is far from neutral in this regard: its development invariably reflects prevailing social attitudes. At the same time, you will discover the important contributions that women have made to the development of technology in the home, in computing, in the medical discipline of fertility and in the sex industry.
