ARTIST STATEMENT
oooxxxooo is a Web-based poem created in 1996, in the earliest HTML, that combines hypersexual prose and the simplicity of code to guide the viewer through a graphic and nonlinear narrative. This Surrealist journey about apples and sex and dentistry asks, “Would you still love me if the world was my brain?” The reader, being asked for love, becomes empowered.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Juliet Martin creates autobiographically driven tapestries by combining hand-woven and machine-made fabric, hand-spun and store-bought yarn, acrylic paint, and glitter, plus illustrations printed on cloth. Her textile art is influenced by her past work in digital media as an artist, programmer, and writer. Her Web-based artwork has embraced the collaboration, the conversation, the cooperation inherent in digitally text-centered projects.
Juliet Martin has a BA in Visual Arts from Brown University and a MFA in Computer Art from the School of Visual Arts. She lives and weaves in Brooklyn.
