Amy Alexander ha treballat en net art i software art des de 1996. A l’entrevista ens explica més coses sobre el context dels seus primers projectes de software art amb l’esclat de la còpia a internet, i sobre Plagiarist, el seu primer treball artístic en web. També ens explica com el seu treball ha anat incorporant performances, especialment en els seus últims treballs, en què barreja software art i performances amb alguns amics imaginaris. Actualment és professora adjunta d’Art visual a la Universitat de Califòrnia, San Diego.
Entrevistada per Pau Alsina, col·laboradora d’Artnodes, al Centre d’Art Santa Mònica, al juny del 2004.

How do you feel about this difference within the same context?
