State of Art - A Conversation with G.H. Hovagimyan.

A conversation between G.H. Hovagimyan and Mark Cooley conducted through 
electronic mail.
http://www.furtherfield.org/display_user.php?ID=906

Hovagimyan with Cooley about his experiences around censorship in art 
culture, identifying some of the taboos which tend to influence 
responses from potential censors (curators, board members, sponsors, 
politicians, and other interested parties). As well as the economics, 
funding and criterias around art practice, and how that shapes the 
context of how art is seen and presented in an art framework and what 
this means.

G.H. Hovagimyan is an experimental digital artist working in a variety 
of forms. He was one of the first artists in New York to start working 
with the Internet in the early nineties. His work ranges from hypertext 
works to digital performance art and installations. His streamed video 
talk shows, Art Dirt and Collider explore and document the artists of 
the digital art scene at the time circa 1995-2000.
