[phage] is a viral computer application -- an artificial life form. [phage]filters through available material on a workstation and places it in analternate context-a visible and audible moving 3D world. [phage] creates newliving sculptures from our own data-- feminist maps of the machine throughnon-hierarchical organization and divorce of creative and reproductive control from the user. It counteracts traditionally masculine paradigms of thetechnological age and allows the user to experience his or her computer memory as a palimpsest of his or her own experiences rather than as simply a tool for daily use.
