Net Projects
hello world.
biography
xtine is a media artist informed by the history of
conceptual art and practicing in the era of the social web.
She uses tools common to consumer web practices, such
as databases, search engines, blogs, and applications –
sometimes in combination with popular sites like
Facebook, YouTube, or Mechanical Turk to create web
projects and communities that foster interpretation and
autonomy. xtine bridges the gaps between histories,
theories, and practices in new media education. She is
the co-author of Digital Foundations (New Riders/AIGA
Design Press 2009) and the editor of Net Works
(Routledge 2011).

Jamming/Tactical Media and “the people v. starbucks”
Maybe it’s not a good idea to make projects that I really can’t maintain without the help of others

Over 25 articles, a spot on the news, a couple of radio shows, short chapter in a book, interview in a movie…pop-culture success

4 years and counting

Is it possible to hire the Turkers to make art?Is it possible to make an alternative Olympic
event entirely out of Turker videos?
