This interview focuses on Vesna's recent collaborative project Datamining Bodies. The project takes two forms: one is an installation and performance that took place in an old Coal Mine in Dortmund and the other network art http://notime.arts.ucla.edu/mining/applet/index.html.
Victoria Vesna is an artist, theorist, and chair of the department of Design Media Arts at UCLA. Her work has moved from performance and video installations to experimental research that connects networked environments to physical public spaces. Vesna has initiated and produced a number of projects that address issues of identity, artificial intelligence, telepresence and database aesthetics http://time.arts.ucla.edu/. Her work has been featured in Art in America, Artweek, Newsweek, Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as Der Spiegel (Germany), The Irish Times (Ireland), Tema Celeste (Italy), and Veredas (Brazil). She has received numerous grants from various educational and industrial foundations.
