One exhibit is an article, featured in Digital Power: Activism, Advocacy and the Influence of Women Online<\/a>. Curated by the wonderful Kathy Rae Huffman, this online exhibition is part of Siggraph 2020 and showcases an inspiring selection of work – it’s an honour to be part of this line-up. My contribution, Networked Conversations as Activism<\/em><\/a>, was originally written for the online magazine interact<\/a>, and looks at the effectiveness of online activism through cyberformance, in particular in the projects\u00a0make-shift<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0We have a situation!<\/em> <\/a><\/p>\nKHBi5 closes today, but the website can still be visited<\/a>, and Digital Power<\/a> has just launched and will remain online.

My other current exhibit is, in fact, an absence. When I was invited to contribute to the fifth KloH\u00e4uschen biennale with something representing my current project, I had to confess that I was trying to have a sabbatical, trying not to work. Trying – but I was in New Zealand and we’d just been plunged into lockdown, thanks to the pandemic, and the world was rushing to get online. What is a cyberformance artist on sabbatical to do in such a time? The resulting text, My sabbatical got hijacked by the pandemic<\/em><\/a>, appears in the online information for KHBi5, and in the catalogue there’s a section of the poem and where all the other artists have an image, I have a blank page. Where all the other artists have an object or image in the beautiful miniature gallery, I am absent; perfectly appropriate for the cyberformance artist, who is always performing absence.<\/p>\n
