Bio
What forms of intimacy take place in the city? How can poetry replace efficiency? These questions drive the work of new media artist and poetic sociographer Krista Connerly. To investigate these questions Connerly works in a variety of media including the internet, video, photography, and sound. However, through whatever media she uses, Connerly seeks to turn “art viewer” into collaborator, provoking forms of interaction that through humor and poetry temporarily override the efficiency and rationality of contemporary life. Her work has been featured in a range of international venues, including, the WOW Women’s International Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, the New Museum’s online art community Rhizome and its Net Art News, The Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Michigan, Cultronix, online journal of art and culture and the Next Wave Festival in Melbourne, Australia where it won a BifTek Wink Award.
Project Information
Weather-Call Service offers a mobile weather activation service provided through cell-phone text messaging. The system gives up to date instructions on how to interact with and create weather systems. Responses from participants, including text messages and cell-phone photos can be sent directly from their phone to our weather map, creating a dynamic picture of how participants are using their weather instructions. for more visit:
