Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied

Based in Stuttgart, Germany, artists Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied are inspired by the messages, animation, and changing iconography of the internet. In their recent exhibition Online Newspapers in Madison Square Park, the artists displayed digital reproductions of online newspapers covered with now technologically out-dated web graphics and animation. The Internet is a vast network of both the symbolic and banal; Lialina and Dragan examine the language of the public domain, its evolution and aesthetics. A pioneer of net art, Olia Lialina has lectured, curated and exhibited around the world, she currently teaches at Merz Akademie in Stuttgart. Dragan Espenschied is an artist, musician, and programmer who won the 2001 Media Award from Zentrum für Kunst und Medien in Karlsruhe. Both artists have given lectures and exhibited their work at galleries and museums including, ABC Gallery, Moscow, Sonar, Barcelona, VertexList gallery, New York, RX gallery, San Francisco, SECESSION, Vienna, Austria, and the New Museum of Art, New York.
