Beyond Future 29.8 - 5.10Beyond Future 29.8 - 5.10
The future and fantasy are fundamental driving forces of mankind.

Cornelia Sollfrank - Unlimited EditionCornelia Sollfrank
Unlimited Edition
29.1-15.3 2009
In the mid 1990s, Cornelia Sollfrank was among the pioneers of net.art and has since been an important influence, networking key individuals in what has become known as cyberfeminism. New media and new media art regularly appears, often embarrassingly so, to be a male-dominated business; an observation equally valid for net.art, even though it has always viewed itself as an open and liberated alternative to the establishment.
