Amy Alexander
http://plagiarist.org

Amy Alexander is the author of plagiarist.org, a number of net art projects made from raw materials "plagiarized" from the Internet. Satirical, frequently time-based pieces dealing with proprietorship, appropriation, corporate dominance, and the infinite recursiveness of the web.

One of the first projects by Amy Alexander is the Multi-Cultural Recycler. As amazing and beautiful as only the best low-tech projects can be, the MCR is a tool that recycle and recompose images stolen from web cams worldwide.

More recently she challenged "the merging and hype of geekness and cool in contemporary culture" with b0timati0n, a live net art performance where text resulting from an internet search engine bot is displayed in continuously animating patterns, interactively conducted by "an übergeek performer using geek toys".
