Yael Kanarek has developed a unique vocabulary of artistic networked interfaces that combine photography, graphics, hypertext, sculpture, and performance. Kanarek generates complex networked "story spaces" that combine multiple media forms with multiple languages including Hebrew and Arabic. Online visitors move through and explore charged issues of land, space, and language. Recognizing that languages shape space by defining cultural territory and sovereignty, Kanarek explores the question of space on the internet.
Kanarek will present several of her award winning net art projects, including her most recent net art project, Object of Desire, accessible through the Jewish Museum in New York, and her installation Warm Fields, exhibited at the bitforms gallery, where a dynamic physical space is constructed with formalistic tools of configuration, shape, and shadow. Yael Kanarek is a 1995 Renew Media Fellow who has created a series of projects that update the ancient genre of the traveler's tale. Since 1995, she has been developing a story space called World of Awe that explores connections between travel, memory, storytelling, and technology. World of Awe takes the form of a diary of an ungendered traveler who searches for a lost treasure in a fictional parallel world called Sunset/Sunrise. Culture News Blog Comment: Technology and culture always have a love-hate relationship. Culture needs technological advances in order to perfect as well as speed up its creations. Technology does the needful but also tends to mechanize the creativity and aesthetics. Culture loves the first but hates the second. Technology is lame until culture accepts and acclaims it. It does have to seek for the culture's nod in order to be accepted by the masses. Now there is a tug of war that always keeps going on in between the two. Neither can do without the other. Their dynamic balance is the key to human growth and satisfaction. Wanna have some bidding fun with 'Technology' on ebay auction? You might grab a bargain or two!
