Natalie Bookchin
After a fruitful weekend, I think I found the case study/new media artist for my thesis that embodies the ideas I have about the changing roles of the 21st century artist, art, institutions, art viewer, etc.: Natalie Bookchin (http://bookchin.net/). Her newest works are a change from her previosuly internet based works to a Duchampian appropriation method of found media on the internet which can be displayed in both on and off line spaces. I think I will focus on…
Testament series (including ‘Laid Off’, ‘My meds’, and ‘I am not’) (started 2009, ongoing) http://bookchin.net/projects/testament.html
Mass Ornament (2009) http://bookchin.net/projects/massornament.html
and Trip (2008) http://bookchin.net/projects/trip.html
I have included the net.art introduction link below for anyone interested in written by Bookchin and another new media artist, Alexei Shulgin, in 1999 as part of an art work:
