In 1913, suffragette Emily Davison disrupted a major horse race in the name of winning British women the vote. Become a Video Lab member! http://bit.ly/video-lab British suffragettes in the early 20th century used spectacle and drama to draw attention to their fight to win women the vote. They delivered public speeches, marched, displayed colorful banners, and got thrown in jail, all in an effort to pressure legislators to extend suffrage to women. But after a violent clash with police in November 1910 — a day known as “Black Friday” — their tactics changed. They began committing random acts of property damage: smashing windows, setting fire to buildings, even destroying fine art on public display. The most radical act of destruction came in 1913, when militant suffragette Emily Wilding Davison threw herself under King George V’s racehorse at a major public event. She died of her injuries and became a suffragette martyr. Ultimately, her funeral procession ended up being one of the largest, and last, major demonstrations by the militant suffragettes. World War I interrupted their protests, and women over 30 won the vote in 1918, when the war ended.

GET THE 'I Would Prefer Not To' T-SHIRT:

For nearly four decades Eduardo Kac has been asking himself “What if...?” In 1982 he asked: “What if poetry could be created with a syntax of disruptive events, exploring written language beyond the linearity and rigidity that characterize its printed form?” He has used holography and digital media to develop this new kind of poetry. In 1986 he asked: “What if art could become a dialogical experience in which remote individuals interconnected worldwide through the network which would project their presence at distance via telerobots?” He thus created telepresence art. Moving into the twenty-first century he asked: “What if we could realize the ultimate dream of art and truly create biological life?” Eduardo has been developing bio art since 1997. More information on http://www.tedxvienna.at Eduardo Kac is internationally recognized for his telepresence and bio art. His artistic practice explores the boundaries between the human and the non-human, the living and the non-living, the local and the remote.
