"Very early on, when the computer still seemed such a foreign thing, I had an interest in inserting human presence into the computer — human motion, human behavior — so that the computer would have a human face and form." This statement sums up the long and prolific career of Rebecca Allen, a visionary artist who has been pushing the limits of artistic creativity by tirelessly exploring the unknown territories of new audiovisual technology. During a career that already spans three decades, Allen has tried her hand on a wide variety of forms: 3-D computer graphics and animation, music videos, logos for TV, video games, large-scale performance works, artificial life systems, multisensory interfaces interactive installations, virtual reality and mixed reality.
