Women, Art & Technology: A Conversation with Amy Alexander.

By Rachel Beth Egenhoefer.

This conversation follows in a series of interviews with women who work 
at the intersection of art and technology. Amy Alexander’s work as an 
artist, performer, musician, and professor approaches art and technology 
from a performing arts perspective, often examining intersections of art 
and popular culture.

performance and digital media art. She has worked under a number of 
pseudonyms including VJ Übergeek and Cue P. Doll. Coming from a 
background in film and music, she learned programming and began making 
time and process-based art on the Internet in the mid-1990's with the 
Multi-Cultural Recycler and plagiarist.org. Amy has performed and 
exhibited on the Internet, in clubs and on the street as well as in 
festivals and museums. Her work has appeared at venues ranging from the 
Whitney Museum and Ars Electronica to Minneapolis‚ First Avenue 
nightclub. She has written and lectured on software art and audiovisual 
performance, and she has served as a reviewer for festivals and 
commissions for new media art and computer music. She is an Associate 
Professor of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego. 
During summer/fall of 2012, Amy is Artist-in-residence at iotaCenter in
