Hi,

We're starting a new section of post.thing.net called e-terview. It will feature invited members of post.thing.net to share their thoughts and idea about digital art, art in general and their own practice. We'd like you to participate in an interview. Please answer the questions below. Of course you can skip over any you don't feel are relevant to your or your practice. Send your answers to ghh(at)thing.net and we'll put them in our e-terview section on post.thing.net

YOUR NAME:
YOUR COUNTRY:

1. What was your first experience with digital art/new media? How did that experience shape your view of the world? Did it inspire you to change you art/practice?

2. What books are you reading now? Are they related to digital art and new media? Are any of those critical books written about new media, digital art, art theory? If so tell us what you like about these books and what you have gained from reading them.

3. Describe your personal practice. How does you art/practice relate to other works/ other people working in your field?

4. What do you believe are the most interesting ideas being investigated in your field. Tell us how your personal practice integrates, relates or extends those ideas.

6. In the general discourse of contemporary art as it exists today, what interests you the most? What interests you the least?
