Come chat with me about feminine computer creativity :) Did you make experimental hobbyist games? Did you mod the sims? Did you make Neopets fan sites? Are you Australian and over 18yo?

A participant recruitment flyer for a research project on feminine computer creativity. An image of a Sims house and a Neopets character are included on the poster.

The callout reads:
"I am looking to talk with people who used computers for hobbyist non- commercial feminine creativity relevant to games. All interpretations
of femininity are welcome. This project aims to learn more about feminine tech-competency and feminine game cultures that have
been overlooked in games histories."

This is a project looking at feminine tech creativity and tech competency overlooked in histories of games and game cultures. If you have copies or old versions of the cool stuff you made we can even try to image/preserve them at the RMIT Digital Heritage Lab (this an optional).

It part of a larger RMIT project called "Oral histories of digital design, games, art and architecture: Diversifying the public record." Funded by the ARC LIEF grant: "The Australian Emulation Network Phase 2 - Extending the Reach, (LE2500100051)."
