Elizabeth Fischer, Maija Graham, Robin Parmar, and Sheila Urbanski in Residence

Description:

Elizabeth Fischer developed her web-based curatorial project, Situ, during a two-part residency with other artists. During the second residency, she collaborated with Maija Graham, Robin Parmar, and Sheila Urbanski.

They developed new text-based web-works around the theme of loci and dialogue as expressed through the concepts of diary and autobiography. Issues of physical, emotional, and virtual loci were examined. Their works endeavoured to cross boundaries of discipline (i.e. writing, image, sound, software), language, personal experience, and experience with the medium itself (the internet and the web).

These works followed the launch of works in Jan 2002 from the first artist residency.
