NATALIE JEREMIJENKO AND PHIL TAYLOR OF THE BUREAU OF INVERSE TECHNOLOGY
with Laura Kurgan, Daniel Perlin, Eric Schuldenfrei, Howard Huang, Aaron Forrest and Diego Rotalde and other intelligent creatures

Jeremijenko: Born 1966, Mackay, Australia; lives in New York, New York, and San Diego, California; Bureau of Inverse Technology: Founded 1991 Natalie Jeremijenko uses new technologies in her art to develop alternative possibilities for the technological future and an institutional critique aimed at demonstrating the powerful role of technology in contemporary life: scripting our actions, directing our attention, and dramatizing our lives. In large-scale public experiments, "spectacles of participation," and video and media installations, she employs robotics, genetic engineering, and digital, electromechanical, and interactive systems to visualize data and facilitate natural systems (rather than virtual ones). Her devices are characterized by an "architecture of reciprocity," in contrast to technologies that further surveillance and asymmetrical power and control.
