After reading about Corneila Sollfrank, I think of her as sort a freedom fighter for female artists or a person who gives female artist a bad rep, according to how you look at it. Sollfrank is a cyberfeminist and while her pieces may not reflect her activeness in the movement some of her actions do. She took part in a competition for artwork that used the internet (for more than just presentation), but she took part as 200 different women from 7 countries. She created the pieces with a program she created that was similar to Napier's Shredder 1.0, but hers was more complex and truly made each piece stand alone. The purpose was to be prove that though there was excitement for so many women particpants none of the winners were female. A trend all too common due to sexism in these type of competition's. The idea behind her stunt was cool to me, but I was not impressed by the piece shown here.
