<nettime> Literal Net Art

[Bruce Sterling <bruces@well.com>]

*I wonder why it took me so long to find this.  This Japanese-Canadian  
personage is a self-described net artist who makes art with big fabric  
nets.

"Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam is one of Japan's leading fibre artists, and  
one of a very small number that sometimes use knitting or crochet in  
their work. Living in Canada, she now specialises in creating large,  
interactive textile environments that function both as imaginative and  
vibrant explorations of colour and form, at the same time as providing  
thrilling play environments.
"She was born in 1940 and attended Hibiya High School - a school known  
throughout Japan for it's high standards. She studied fine art at the  
Tama Art University, Tokyo, followed by a Masters at Cranbrook Academy  
of Art, Michigan."
