Moment of Friday: Artist Dara Birnbaum's 1970s Wonder Woman mash-up | Gender and art | Scoop.it

Dara Birnbaum, Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman, 1978-1979 (video still).

 

"By today's standards, Dara Birnbaum's video piece "Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman," might not seem like a big deal. The 5 1/2-minute video looks like your typical Internet mash-up: repeating cuts of actress Lynda Carter spinning in circles to transform herself into Wonder Woman, all studded with explosions, which are also repeated."
