[-empyre-] Introducing Trudy Lane

["-empyre-owner" <empyre-owner@gamera.cofa.unsw.edu.au>]

Trudy Lane works as a digital media designer/producer for the art and 
museum industries, and as an artist collaboratively producing online 
works. Both her personal and professional work reflect her interest in 
experimental cross-breeding between art and education and the 
perception and interpretation of ideas.

As a part of a small team put together by curator Steve Dietz at the 
Walker Art Center, Trudy designed and developed online exhibitions, 
archives and educational projects such as "beyond interface"(1998), 
"ArtsConnected" (2000) and "sonicFlux" (2001).

Working with the Croatian artist Andreja Kuluncic as a part of a 
multidisciplinary Zagreb based NGO of philosophers, artists, 
sociologists, programmers and designers, Trudy created several 
cyber/physical installations that have been exhibited at festivals and 
art centers internationally. A selected list is shown below.

"Closed Reality - Embryo" (1998-2000):
Gallery Miroslav Kraljevic (Zagreb), VIPER (Lucerne), European Media 
Art Festival (Osnabruck), FILE - Electronic Language International 
Festival (Sao Paulo). Recently collected by the Museum of Modern and 
Contemporary Art in Rijeka, Croatia.

"Distributive Justice" (2002-4):
Big Torino (Turin), Documenta 11 (Kassel), Walker Art Center 
(Minneapolis), Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), Istanbul 
Biennial, Moderna galerija Ljubljana, Artspace Visual Art Center 
(Sydney), Gallery of Extended Media (Zagreb).

Trudy's involvement with cultural organizations, curators and artists 
in South Eastern Europe, has also spurred her collaboration on a new 
socio-cultural contemporary art magazine online named ART-e-FACT, based 
in Zagreb, Croatia.  Trudy is both ART-e-FACT's designer and a member 
of its editorial board.

Recently returned to New Zealand, Trudy is getting reacquainted with 
the art and media landscapes of Aotearoa and hopes to be soon dipping 
her toes into a few of the many tempting local pools of thought.
