Interview with Jo-Anne Green

I interviewed Jo-Anne Green this morning. Jo is co-creator and contributor to the Networked Performance weblog, which I've very much enjoyed reading since its founding in July 2004. On her blog, you'll find stories about a diverse range of new media and performance arts projects taking place around the globe.

Background

Our guest is Jo-Anne Green, co-creator and contributor to the Networked Performance weblog.

Jo, born in Johannesburg, South Africa, received a BFA in printmaking and art history from the University of Witwatersrand.

She moved to Boston in 1983 where she obtained a MFA in Painting. In 1985, Jo co-founded Cultural Resistance to educate the American public about Apartheid through the art and culture of South Africa.

Jo was instrumental in starting the artist-in-residence program at the University of New Mexico's (UNM) Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center. This initiative led to the creation of the Arts Technology Center (ATC), of which she served as the program coordinator until returning to Boston in 2001 and receiving her MS in Arts Administration.

Jo has exhibited her paintings (view her artwork), one-of-a-kind artist's books, and installations in South Africa, Boston, and New York.

The Networked Performance blog is published by Turbulence, a project of New York-based New Radio and Performance Arts, Inc.

Turbulence is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is the commissioning of networked art by emerging and established artists.
