( Contact )Who
Dina Kelberman is a multimedia artist whose work comes out of a tendency
to fastidiously collect and organize imagery from the surroundings of
everyday life -- Google, YouTube, television, social media. Her
practice utilizes the recontextualisation of found media to create
monuments to the human need to connect, create, and destroy. Her
uncannily meticulous work has been referred to as a 'reverse
Turing-test' and an 'elevation of the ugly and boring to beautiful.'
Kelberman's work transcends the typical aesthetics of net-art while
remaining rooted in the world wide web. She has created web-based
pieces for the New Museum and Marina Abramovic Institute and exhibits
internationally. Her work has been written about by The New York Times,
Art21, NPR, art theory books and textbooks. She is currently ranked 9th
in the world for Most Lines in Tetris for the NES.
