Artistic Textual and Performative Paths in New Media Correlations: An Interview with Annie Abrahams

Artistic Textual and Performative Paths in New Media Correlations: An Interview with Annie Abrahams
by Evelin Stermitz

Evelin Stermitz' interview with net artist Annie Abrahams,
whose "works are structured on both digitized hyper and on site
realities. She constructs forms of collective writings on the net and
reconstructs them into offline perceptions, which leads to creations of
net-operas and other web based interventions."

Fylkingen's journal Hz started as a non-virtual journal after
its predecessor Fylkingen Bulletin from '60s. Since 2000, Hz moved to
the Internet and has become an Internet journal, one of the few in
Sweden. From the second issue in 2003 it also includes Net Gallery,
where international Internet art works are presented.

Fylkingen
is a non-profit art organization in Stockholm. Established in 1933, it
is the oldest forum for experimental music and intermedia art in
Sweden. Throughout its history Fylkingen has been the driving force in
the Swedish art scene to introduce and promote unestablished art forms,
the examples of which include the music of Bartók and the video works
of Nam June Paik as well as electro-acoustic music during the '50s. Our
members today consist of leading composers/musicians, performance
artists/dancers, visual artists, etc.
