Olia Lialina
Olia Lialina is among the best-known participants in the 1990s net.art scene – an early-days, network-based art pioneer. Her early work had a great impact on recognizing the Internet as a medium for artistic expression and storytelling. This century, her continuous and close attention to user culture, “net.language” and no-interface paradigm, has made her an important voice in new media, post-digital studies and HCI. She is cofounder and keeper of One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age archive, author of Digital Folklore (2009) and Turing Complete User (2021). Since 1999 she is a professor for art and design online at Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany.
