Cyber artist Karasic substitutes a brush with a computer, creating and
manipulating images digitally. By embracing leading edge technology, she provides a
feminist perspective to a new and rapidly changing field. Her artworks attest to the 'soul
of the machine', seeking to integrate human values with those of digital technology.

"My artist ethics center on increasing awareness through art
activism. Embracing a civil obligation to the global community, I believe it is a
cyberartist's responsibility to provoke (re)evaluation of our systems through technology.
I am concerned with perception from various perspectives. Reality is what we perceive it
to be. Perception is subjective, so behavior and body language are interpreted through our
personal filters. A true story can be very different as told from different perspectives.
My art investigates alternative views, new connections, and interaction between edges.
Gaps are the most interesting point of departure."

"The keyboard is yet another code. Meta-code that defines and
links the human computer interface. Even before the mouse, the keys invite our touch.
Keyboard adaptation includes function keys, and short-cut keys, like those in the image,
e.g. screenal control code."

Computer art has the unique advantage of fostering collaborations among
multiple artists. Since the art is a digital file, it can easily be sent to artists far
away, to add their own layer of interpretation to the work. Part of the Turbo Art series,
this untitled work is an ongoing collaboration with Rolf van Gelder, residing in
Eindhoven, Netherlands.
