GashGirl (Adelaide/Rome) <dollyoko@thing.net>
has been working in the field of new media since 1984 as an arts manager, curator, corporate geisha girl, cyberfeminist, puppet mistress and ghost.
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 published by <A HREF=" http://www.shake-editions.com/shake1.html";>SHAKE</A>. 
<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://www2.sva.edu/~dianel/idrunr/";> 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>.

Ina Wudtke (D) <ina@thing.de>
diploma at Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Hamburg/Germany (B.J. Blume).

NEID. Brought the project NEID (=envy) on a higher, extended level
(transmedial works/shows ).Works with Vision, Sound, Word. Since 1992 working

members of different social groups, such as soldiers (German Bundeswehr), fan
groups, inhabitants of urban districts, Red Cross nurses, members of religious
communities (NYC orthodox Jews) etc. Wudtke's serial photography reproduces
the aesthetic standards that subsume the individual within the different
groups, but also raises fundamental questions concerning this phenomenon. With
the partial integratation of text in her presen-tation, her work provides a
subtle commentary.  Lived in N.Y./Hamburg. Moved to Berlin.


Josephine Starrs (AUS) <starrs@autonomous.org>
is an Australian new media artist who has a schizoid relationship to new
technologies. While entranced with the playful possibilities of the medium,
she maintains a healthy paranoia of its obsessions and controlling
implications. She was a member of the cyberfeminist artist collective, VNS
Matrix, whose early performance work in virtual communities used irony and
humour to reveal the gendered biases hard wired into computer culture.

She worked with Leon Cmielewski to produce the CD-ROM "User Unfriendly
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.
