Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991 ist die erste einer Reihe von forschungsbasierten Gruppenausstellungen. Die Werke von etwa fünfzig Künstlerinnen aus den Bereichen Malerei, Bildhauerei, Installation, Fotografie, Film sowie zahlreiche computergenerierte Zeichnungen und Texte werden präsentiert. Die Ausstellung betrachtet die Geschichte der künstlerischen Experimente in der Vor-Internet-Ära der Informatik aus einer feministischen Perspektive.
Eine neue Publikation mit 27 Künstlerinneninterviews begleitet die Ausstellung.
Die Ausstellung Radical Software: Women, Art and Computing 1960-1991 wird von Michelle Cotton kuratiert und durch die Kunsthalle Wien und Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean produziert.
