ALEXANDRE GHERBAN (FRANCE)

Here is a different sort of poetry. You don't have to understand French to 
enjoy this work. I was particularly taken with "la colonie". This is a 
collection of 14 Shockwave pieces. Most are both sonic and visual. These 
works mostly proceed by symbols moving around and interacting with each 
other. Sometimes you can affect that motion and interaction. It gives a 
sense of the interaction of symbols in a way different language to produce 
meaning. Of "la colonie", Gherban says: "The colony" is made up of a 
collection of small automata having various artistic 'functions'. The sounds 
come from my voice; phonemes are used to produce sound sequences in real 
time."


GISELLE BEIGUELMAN (BRAZIL)

Giselle's work is quite diverse. She does installation work involving cell 
phone technology and also does considerable net art; she is both a poet and 
a code/visual artist. For instance, she does visual work such as "I Love 
Your Gif", which is mainly visual, but also does work such as "The Book 
After the Book". She works with many types of codes.
