GLoW: Illuminating Innovation · King's Strand Campus · 7 March - 20 April 2024

A multi-sited London exhibition, showcases groundbreaking artworks by leading women artists working with cutting-edge technologies. Through the curation of brand-new pieces alongside historical works spanning five decades, the continuous innovation by women in technology is revealed.

Using the Events tab below, explore what's on in the exhibition at King's Strand Campus.

From early AI explorations in the 1980s to Virtual Reality (VR) in the 1990s, to virtual world creation in the 2000s, and portable VR in the 2010s, GLoW: Illuminating Innovation chronicles the often overlooked impact of women on the evolution of technology as part of the GLoW3 project.
