Our work has employed a variety of strategies to explore female identity, critical resistance, representation and narrative archiving.</p> <p>Throughout my practice with De Geuzen, writing has been as important as the visual. Whether blurbs for announcers, slogans for stickers or critical essays and interviews for thematic projects, writing has not only been a vehicle of expression, but also a means of speculation. As our work migrated to online environments, I became fascinated by the potential of digital writing and the multiple expressions it takes in a variety of media.</p> <p><a href="http://faces-l.net/en/node/229">read more</a></p> analog stuff art digital media performance Rotterdam the Netherlands writing Sat, 10 Jan 2009 15:04:20 +0000 Renee_Turner 229 at http://faces-l.net http://faces-l.net/en/node/197 <p>Donna Metzlar (1969) has a varied background. The one aspect which remains constant is her commitment to social change. Over the past 7 years she has actively been involved in the Genderchangers, a group of women enamoured with technology, especially free software, open source hardware and the universal interoperability of systems. She takes a lead role in the annual event the Eclectic Tech Carnival (/ETC) and the Systerserver. This server is run by women only, hosts feminist websites and offers women interested in gaining system administration skills a work experience space.
