MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, uses blogging, podcasting and other Web technologies to create the WACKsite as a component of WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, a major show of feminist art created between 1965 and 1980. The WACKsite includes 42 Installation views of the exhibition, as well as a series of images from Walks Through the Revolution, a tour of the show held March 4, at which many of the artists spoke. There are also short audio tours, featuring individual artists talking about their work, such as Miriam Schapiro discussing Big OX No. 2, 1968, and downloadable podcasts of longer lectures by Angela Davis, Griselda Pollack, and Linda Nochlin. Visitors' comments are also posted; one recurring theme suggests that perhaps women would be more comfortable viewing imagery of nude women, if the museum guards were also women.
