Squandered hours investigating the artistic and erotic potential of negotiated email relationships, online virtual communities and web-based narrative architectures have been reverse engineered into multiple immaterialities.
fleshmeat, her novella about love, lust and death on the net, will be soon published.
<a href="http://www.thing.net/~dollyoko";>dollspace</a> drifts through haunted ponds, detestable pleasures and military bunkers testing the theses that 'all women are ghosts and should rightly be feared', 'all history is pornography' and 'laws are made by men who fuck their daughters'.
<a href=" http://www.thing.net/~dollyoko/LOSDIAS/INDEX.HTML";>Los Dias y Las Noches de los Muertos</A>, uses the soft architecture and screenal bodies of the net to create a ghost work of counter-memories, opening thresholds of impossibilities outside of pan-capitalism.
Recently GashGirl has morphed into Liquid Nation, a sibyl from future's memory, joining <a Href=" http://z.parsons.edu/~ludin/final_pages/indexold.html";> Identity_Runners</a>, Ephemera and Discordia, throughout a weary transportation of transmissions with time so small it stiches itself through the imaginary framework as a voice revealing the thematics of our current ruin.
Her online projects squat the screens at <a href="http://sysx.org/gashgirl/";>System-X</a>.

humour to reveal the gendered biases hard wired into computer culture.

Interface", an ironic look at the hype surrounding cyberculture. Their latest
projects include a computer game patch entitled "Bio-Tek Kitchen" and
"Dream Kitchen", an interactive animation on CD ROM.
