About

My practice is located in the shift from Modernism to a Networked Society. I recombine cultural associations through storytelling and multilingualism in new and traditional media. As an Israeli-American woman from an Easter-European decent, many of my works negotiate the young and turbulent national identity within a post-national, and increasingly privatized, global network.

I draw from early Modernists in form and spirituality. A period that gave rise to time zones which are perhaps the first collective global agreement. These forms grew alongside Socialist ideals that governed Israel in the 70s. Over 20 years, I've witnessed the bankruptcy of the Socialist way and the rise of Capitalism. These days everything that can, becomes digital and networked. Perhaps an illusion, the network mobilizes a power shift. At the same time it reminds us that we're made of this planet and are connect to one another, not altruistically, but at the core-level of our existence.

Network Technology and Science feature in the works. Narrative and languages are the central device to synthesize with different media. More >

Traveler's Journal is a collection of net art works that tell of a traveler who searches for a lost treasure in a parallel world called Sunset/Sunrise. The solitary quest draws an internal, vast landscape. This subjective cosmology of a voice striped of identity properties is the source for most of the works. More >
