GENDER MEDIA ART

A multimedia CD-ROM including work by international artists, presented
by Axis in 1997-1998.

Gender and transgender, queer and post-queer mark the new range of
visions on sexual identity at the turn of this millennium. The
biological sex has finally lost its status as a dominant factor in
defining a person's identity. Individual construction of identity has
taken its place.

GENDER MEDIA ART, a multimedia CD-ROM, showcases its influence on the
arts and mass media within 12 projects, including work by theorists,
writers and artists using media as video, film, photography and digital
media. Their work focuses on contemporary alter-egoism, queerness and
transsexuality. They give taboos like pornography and violence their own
twist and show their view on the new globalisation of the internet and
in real life. But more than this, their work show the aesthetics of an
(image) culture in which stereotypes are past history.

With Artists: among others Lynn Hershman, Sadie Benning, Jennifer
Reeder, Debra Solomon, Sam Schoenbaum, Ine Poppe/Jetty Verhoeff, Anneke
Saveur, Annie Sprinkle, Daniel Brun, M.M. Serra. Theorists: Judith
Butler, Teresa de Lauretis, Jonathan Weinberg, Darryl Hill and many
others.
