Cornelia Sollfrank (Hamburg/Berlin/Celle)
is an artist whose central concerns in her conceptual and performative works
in omixed mediaê are the relation between art and politics, subversive
potential of new media art, the advent of a new image of the artist in the information
age, gender-specific handling of technology, as well as networking and
communication as art. She was a member of the collectives "Frauen-und-Technik" and
"-Innen," and she initiated the Cyberfemininist alliance known as Old Boys Network.
Her project "Female Extension" (1997) was a hack of the first net.art competition initiated by a museum, in which she flooded the museum's network with submissions by 300 virtual female net artists.
Her "net.art generator" automatically produces art on demand. She published the readers "First Cyberfeminist International" (1988) and "next Cyberfeminist International" (1999) .
In 1999/2000 Sollfrank produced a body of work on the subject of "Women
Hackers". Sollfrank is currently continuing to work on the idea of 'Generative Art'.
