Josephine Starrs (AUS) <starrs@autonomous.org>

technologies. While entranced with the playful possibilities of the medium,
she maintains a healthy paranoia of its obsessions and controlling
implications. She was a member of the cyberfeminist artist collective, VNS
Matrix, whose early performance work in virtual communities used irony and
humour to reveal the gendered biases hard wired into computer culture.
She worked with Leon Cmielewski to produce the CD-ROM "User Unfriendly
Interface", an ironic look at the hype surrounding cyberculture. Their
latest
projects include a computer game patch entitled "Bio-Tek Kitchen" and
"Dream Kitchen", an interactive animation on CD ROM.
