2015

In this paper I explore the role of digital media art in challenging the objectification of women. I analyze the work of three contemporary artists, namely cindy sherman, ann hirsch, and erica scourti, in relation to feminist theories, particularly gender performance and “the gaze”. I examine how these artists use their work to comment on the role and perception of women in society and assess the effectiveness of their efforts to resist the damage caused by objectification.
