    Media artist Linda Dement participated in the second ISEA in 1990 (SISEA). Originally a photographer, her digital practice spans the programmed, performative, textual and virtual. Her work deals with issues of disturbance, commingling psycho-sexual corporeality and the digital and electronic, giving form to the difficult territory of the unbearable and conflicted.

She works with is­sues of dis­tur­bance, com­min­gling psy­cho sex­ual vi­o­lent cor­po­re­al­ity with the dig­i­tal and elec­tronic. Her in­ter­ac­tive and still image work has been widely ex­hib­ited in­ter­na­tion­ally and lo­cally, in­clud­ing at the In­sti­tute of Con­tem­po­rary Art in Lon­don, Ars Elec­tron­ica in Aus­tria, the In­ter­na­tional Sym­posia of Elec­tronic Art in Syd­ney and Mon­treal and the Im­pakt Media Arts Fes­ti­val in Eu­rope.

The sa­cred and the sav­age, sex­u­al­ity and abuse, are her pri­vate square of op­po­si­tion.”_George Alexan­der.
