Josepha Haveman, NL/US, can best be described today as a media artist. She has created art in a variety of traditional media, first from painting and photography to printmaking and then with various computer based graphics, a field she started to explore shortly after her fiftieth birthday! Ms. Haveman’s special academic focus is in the inter-relationship between media, culture and society throughout its development, from pre-historic times into the future. Josepha grew up -and first studied art- in Amsterdam, then pursued a degree in art and anthropology at San Francisco State University, followed by graduate work in cultural anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley while also working as a staff member at the Museum of Anthropology there. Since then Prof. Haveman has also received an advanced degree in art and has taught photography as fine art at academies, colleges and universities in California, Oregon, Israel, and Europe. Her work, especially her photography and early digital art, has been exhibited widely at galleries and museums in various countries. Josepha Haveman has been exploring the potentials of digital media in art, design, and education using personal computers, since 1981. She also has been producing CD ROMs on art, anthropology and the environment resulting in eleven discs of art, photography and educational subjects published between 1990 and 1996.
