Francesca da Rimini

Francesca da Rimini is an artist, film maker and writer who investigates the poetic, political and social potentials of internet-enabled communication, peer-to-peer cultures, cyberfeminism, ‘madness’ and (tel)embodied erotic experiences. Early net projects include GashGirl, Flesh Meat and the award-winning labyrinth dollspace. As a member of the cyberfeminist art collective VNS Matrix, she contributed to numerous works that have been virally mutating since 1991. She is co-author of Disorder and the Disinformation Society: The Social Dynamics of Information, Networks and Software (Routledge 2015). Francesca is an Honorary Associate in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Technology Sydney, and has an experimental novella bubbling away in her cauldron. http://gashgirl.sysx.org
