Biennial
Featuring Diane Ludin, Prema Murthy & John
Simon
Prema Murthy and Diane Ludin are the two recent Thundergulch
residents from Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's World Views residency
program, that takes place on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center. Prema
Murthy, as part of the Fakeshop artgroup, and John Simon are both exhibiting
in the "Internet" category of this year's Whitney Biennial.

Diane Ludin, an Internet artist, is in the
process of developing the work, Speed Economies: Broadcast Documents as part
of her residency in the World Views program. She is creating a net-specific
media collage, Genetic Response System: version 2.0, which is being
commissioned by Turbulence and launching in May. She is also included in the
group show, Tenacity, at The Swiss Institute, New York (March 24 - May 13).
Ludin has developed past works with Prema Murthy, both individually and with
Fakeshop.
Prema Murthy is an artist exploring online performance and
digital media in conjunction with performance and installation works in
physical space. Her individual pieces have included the web-based MIMIC (1997)
(http://www.thing.net/~mimic) and BindiGirl ( ) (1999), which was featured on
THETHING.BBS. Fakeshop, of which she is a core member, is both an ongoing
electronic arts project and a performance and installation series. In
conjunction with the Whitney Biennial, Fakeshop will produce a live event,
developed in collaboration with other digital artists, musicians, and
theorists.
John Simon is an artist who uses technology as a process
and a medium. He creates thought-provoking pieces that explore themes such as
color theory and time and is well known for his Java applet, Every Icon.
