Portrait : SHU LEA CHEANG's interactive mythologies

From early days, Shu Lea Cheang, the Taiwanese multimedia art pioneer, has been building interactive fictions borrowing from the major themes of our time, gender, sexuality, science fiction and media. Her mythological fictions draw on intimate as much as public matters, questioning her own story whilst inviting the spectator/visitor to participate. What is mostly remembered from the multimedia artist Shu Lea Cheang is her famous and ultra-commented film, I.K.U. (picture above, see its wi...

© Rubra You were one of the co-founders of Ars Electronica in 1979. What were your thoughts as you were conceiving this first festival dedicated to electronic arts? We weren’t thinking 30 years ahead, but we thought the scene of art, technology and society -- the subtitle of Ars Electronica -- would consist of the future. This was from the very beginning. The name didn't change, and the subtitle didn't change. My boss, Hannes Leopoldseder, whom I think is the real founder...

HACKERS FOR AN OPEN CULTURE - Will they save the world?

Will they save the world? It’s always difficult to redefine a trendy word, especially one that’s been so butchered by the media that we think “hacking” is bad, and that “the hacker” is a powerful bandit. My definition of “hacker”, whenever I can give it, is closer to “exalted engineer”. The first hackers, and their culture, were born in a miniature model club at MIT. They were making electric trains, very far from the image of p...
