As an artist, feminist, and socially conscious American, I found it both my pleasure and duty to create digital works of art that address issues concerning gender and technology. Retrotype is an enjoyable, tongue in cheek piece that questions and charts the visual representation of the female character throughout the history of retrogaming.
