Monster Central was a Vancouver-based group comprised of artists, curators, and cultural critics who all shared interests and concerns regarding women and digital technology. Formed in 1994, the group began as a reading group studying technotheory and expanded to include performance, publication, and an CUSeeMe Internet teleconference. They met regularly to review current media and to discuss how they, as women, could explore issues such as gender and sexuality on the internet, improving women's access through an artist-run centre, and how the model of monster/woman/machine forms a potential means of gaining agency in the digital domain.

Monster central members included Monique Genton, Susan Edelstein, Sharla Sava, Katherine Lee, Jill Weaving, Nancy Duff, Lori Macintosh, Sandra Seekins, Johanna Stark, Alison Mactaggart, Antonia Hirsch, Joy Henley, and Jenn Lewis.
