Artist statement:
I use technology to gain new understandings of time, place and space. The shifting of value systems, contradictions, possibilities and migration of identity, and a dynamic relation to place are dominant for me. I like getting inside machines (software & hardware) and touching their inner parts.
“a generative collision of net technology, riot grrl, dance, open source programming, feminism, vaudeville and the concerns of the psyche, her work weaves togethertranscendent practices of many kinds while feeding from the rot and beauty of contemporary daily life”.
