The work we feature explores how language is shaped in new media spaces, how interactivity can change the meaning of a sign, how an image can conflict with a sign, and how code exerts machine-order on a text.” Some of her well-known works include “Cruising,” “Sinking,” While Chopping Red Peppers,” and “On the Life of Man.”
