In her ground-breaking networked performance The Big Kiss (2008), two performers engage in the act of “kissing” via the network. As with much of Abrahams networked performance art, she questions intimacy in the “telematic embrace,” despite locational separation. She asks: are we “alone together” in our online, virtual relationships, or are we able to form meaningful and deeply human connections through networked interaction and performance. Annie is known worldwide for her net art and collective writing experiments and is an internationally regarded pioneer of Internet performance art. Abrahams creates situations meant to reveal messy and sloppy sides of networked human behaviour, to trap reality and so makes that reality available for thought and critique. | About Networked Conversations | Networked Conversations is a series of live, online interviews and discussions hosted by Randall Packer. The series features media artists, curators, writers, and activists exploring a broad range of social, political and aesthetic topics at the intersection of net culture. Networked Conversations collapses geographical and cultural boundaries via participatory Internet chat: free & open & accessible from anywhere in the world. | Upcoming Events | June 17 — Gene Youngblood, author of Expanded Cinema For more information visit: http://www.thirdspacenetwork.com
