Maya Man: Chance Encounters, Performance and Artist Talk

​Welcome back. Season 3 of the Artwrld Podcast is presented in partnership with Rhizome, the international hub for new media art.

​Each session is recorded for a live online audience and co-presented by Michael Connor, Executive Director of Rhizome, and Josh Goldblum, Artwrld Founder and CEO. For our first Season 3 session, we welcome Maya Man.

Maya Man will perform live website readings of a collection of her generative, browser-based work. Each work features an element of chance, so the specific text will be determined in real time by the website’s custom code. This will be followed by a short introduction to her recent work that employs a range of generative methods to examine the performance of self online.

The presentation will take place entirely in an internet browser. Following the presentation, Man will field questions from the audience.

​​About Rhizome
Rhizome champions internet art and culture through commissions, exhibition, and digital preservation, online at rhizome.org and in partnership with its longtime affiliate and host, the New Museum in New York City.
