| What is more interesting, however, is
that she chooses to display her work online. This provides
no problem for widespread viewers that have the facilities
and resources to access the work. In this manner she
is able to ensure that her work is not limited by geographical,
and to an extent, cultural bounds. |
I
frequently research and monitor the propagation
of the internet
technologies around the globe. When I am creating
a new work I am always
conscious of the technical limitations. I try to
make the work as accessible as possible to the international
audience without compromising the quality; I test
everything in multiple platforms for compatibility,
write a code that is bug free & accessible by
a universal common denominator, try to identify possible
incompatible scenarios and create alternative options
when possible.

It also provides Kouladjie with the
ability to widely distribute her work without the barriers
of a fine art gallery setting:

What brought me, or more like pushed
me toward the web was my lack of communication with
the world around me. I now feel that the whole word
is my showcase, and there are no boundaries….I
was looking for a format that I could freely experiment
with minimal formal limitations.

The Internet also provides a wide media
interface that allows her to experiment with various
modes of visual communication – from looping animation
to stills, movie clips, and sequential art. The liquid
ability of the Internet provides an interface that can
radiate complex formats or minimal qualities. Also fascinating
is the stream-of-consciousness type of visual prose her
work captures:
|
I am using web as a medium as well
as a platform; the success of each project in my
site depends in a measure on correct balance in every
sense this medium - digital art/web site - has to
offer. What I build is a collage or an assemblage
of interrelated short art pieces that although seemingly
detached from each other, in whole, express a complete
thought or statement, my site remains in a ‘work
in progress’.

| There is no harnessing of one’s
expression to a specific media and its qualities - for
example, the unchangeable format of cinema, the lack
of interactivity with film, or the stillness of pictures.
With the Internet, the audience has some control in the
process, at the very least the speed and direction of
reading the work. They are also able to choose dates
at their own digression, and so the use of click-through
links provides a different experience for each viewer
and further compliments each individual’s dissimilar
definitions for the visuals. |
