Information garnered from this interview is also intended for use in an article to be written by Olivia Brum with contributions by Martine Neddam in the serial publication kunst en materiaal. Martine Neddam speaks about her history as an artist, beginning with the creation of works for public space, and how the technological advances and supportive environment found in Amsterdam in the 90s created the perfect situation in which to develop the concept that would become her internet artwork mouchette.org. She talks about her making process, her thoughts on user interaction and community involvement and how discourse on mouchette.org contributes to its conservation. |
