Excerpts From‘Portrait Of The VJ’
Author's Biography
Mark Amerika, who has been named a "Time Magazine 100 Innovator"
as part of their continuing series of features on the most influential
artists, scientists, entertainers and philosophers into the 21st
century, has had four retrospectives of his digital art work. Recently
Amerika has begun a new research project devoted to what he calls
Life Style Practice (LSP). As part of this Life Style Practice,
Amerika integrates his life as a nomadic net artist with international
VJ tours, DVD with surround sound installations, hactivist performances,
and what he refers to a "cyberpsychogeographical drifting."
Some of the recent digital traces left behind in this emerging Life
Style Practice include CODEWORK, DJRABBI, and
SOCIETY OF THE SPECATCLE (A DIGITAL REMIX). An extended
biography is available at http://www.markamerika.com/bio.html.
