Jennifer Chan Interview: Interpassivity & Internet Pop Culture.

Interviewed by Marc Garrett.

Some have proposed Jennifer Chan to be part of what has been termed as 
the post-internet era. But, this is an inadequate representation of the 
spirit, criticality and adventure at play in her work. Chan's awareness 
and use of the Internet reflects a way of life, that situates its 
networks as a primary resource. Chan lives amongst various worlds and 
engages in different shades of being; a self-described ‘amateur cultural 
critic', a net artist, a media artist, and academic. Her work exists 
both online and in physical realms, it is always present and 
contemporary. This is because her work lives in a world where the 
scripting of official art definitions loses its power. People have 
exploited technology to facilitate new behaviours where the artist or 
art amateur redefine what art is on their own terms. We are now in a 
post-art context. It reflects a very real, societal shift. Mainstream 
art culture no longer owns the consciousness of art, Chan and others 
like her are pulling it apart.
