The Artist as a Communicator. 
Series of Online Interviews.
1992 - 1993


Looking a new technologies in the context of art was one goal of this work. Twelve interviews were done, prefer-ably using computer net-works. The connection was established over the phone, interviewees went "online" that way.

The series was created in cooperation with Rosa von Suess and Max Kossatz. The interviews were carried out in the framework of unitn with the help of a 14400 baud modem and appropriate terminal software.

A note of thanks also goes to
Eva Grubinger, Kurt Hent-schlaeger und Horst Hörtner.

The documentation of the experiment was published as issue 1/1993 of the series Medien.Kunst.Passagen. Between the interviews, examples of introductory phrases, transmission errors and the respective mailbox interfaces were shown. The glossary at the end of the text was for looking up and finding one's bearings amongst various technical terms, some of which were used with different meanings. The fact that it was a traditional printed publication, not a floppy disk, the recording medium of the time, was definitely a break in style.
