Round talk // Name the depoliticalization of Cyber feminisms!
Although there is lately a trend around feminist art, and 2 major art magazines had dedicated their intire issues on feminist art (Frieze and Artnews), right now women are losing rights.



Coming to the point that the difference between women’s movement and feminism – is not about gaining a position but about constructing different structures.

And defending that there is nothing wrong with the term feminism, and we're not looking for a new word. If someone feels close to the feminist agenda, but does not engage itself because feminism has such a strong connotation, then they are not quite yet ready.

World of female avatars

Avatars are images we use in the digital world to represent one self.
"is a project for expanded understanding of women and their relation to their body. By using the internet as an artistic survey media as many different entries from different cultures as possible will be collected. The public call for female body pictures and text with personal statements about the body is going to be presented at this net art project. The submitted pictures are used for a digital collage to create new bodies "



CYM – (aut/nl) No men’s land
Creating new world rules and society is her main interest in the cyber world, n her project 'No Men's Land' cym tries to capture something of the rapid changes that are happening to the borders in Central Europe. Since 1995 cym is traveling regularly between the former West- and East-European countries and she has followed the so-called 'opening of the borders' very closely. In her project 'No Men's Land' she is following the main border that used to divide Europe in East and West.
