Artist Statement:
ART IS A PARASITE. ART IS
MISINTERPRETED DATA. ART IS
TERROR: My work gives insights
into different form of
territories, data, dolls and
robotics interacting within
the urban spaces and urban
life. Believing strongly and
deeply in my artwork as a host
for an emancipated audience,
the source of my work is a
voluptuous engagement with
scientific thin-king,
autobiographic momentum and
development of gender
robotics. Replenishing the
feminist strategies of the
past which transformed
dynamically into an ‘equality
of differences’ my interest
prolongs from body data
observations to social
critical interactive urban
data. My installations
approach the spectators with
questions about data
movements, strategies in
social behaviour and future
progress of urban interaction.
ART IS BIOCHEMICAL. ART IS A
PARASITE: The host system is
the human body. Art exists as
a parasite in the mind of the
viewer. My interest in art is
the effect to operate like a
hallucination: to appear and
to disappear like a mirage in
the brain. My investigations
concern’s is to manufacture
‘disappearances’ provoking a
moment of data transfer. I
toggle between inner and outer
worlds. My concern in art is
to escort these forms of
hallucinatory processes, to

SAATCHI ONLINE DAILY MAGAZINE: 18 - 24 Feb 2008
WEEKLY TOP TEN ARTIST chosen by Ana Finel Honigman

'Germaine Greer might believe that 'the woman who displays her own body as her artwork seems to me to be travelling in the tracks of an outworn tradition that spirals downward and inward to nothingness.' Yet, as these ten artists demonstrate, that young women (and men) reared in a deep-rooted feminist tradition realize that the 'personal is political' and therefore have the potential to embody larger, wider and broader philosophical, political and social issues outside themselves'

FRINGE REPORT written by John Park
reviewed Thursday 24 November 05

'BRITTA JAGER. Work includes projector beaming across street(...), and one wall-mounted print titled vonpuppenkurzenleinenundgrossenabneigungen. It is circular (120cm diameter), a soft-focus semi-representational picture of a woman offering a book that's inscribed 'art is...'. It's sensual, delicate and evocative with a hint of mystique.'
