The third exhibition in the trilogy "Hilchot Shehenim" concludes the project through which we have tried to advance two goals. The first is the attempt to establish a regional cultural network as a platform for artists and art centers in the Near East, the Mediterranean Basin, and in such wider circles as the former East European bloc and the Balkans. The objective is to overcome the limitations on communication that are dictated by political and national conditions. The second goal is to facilitate the discussion on the influence of new technologies on society and art, from the standpoint of a society that is flooded by and intensively absorbed in the new technologies while at the same time being culturally isolated from its geographical surroundings.
To further these objectives, we presented, in the first chapter, art and artists working in the periphery without a link to or dependence upon 'western

"Project Features" spotlights Emily Hermant
Project Features"
http://features.nmartproject.net <>
is happy to present during April 2005
its 4th feature:
--->
Emily Hermant (Canada)
and her interactive netart piece, entitled:
"The Lies Project"
Project statement
Based on the artist's previous body of work, which investigated notions of exaggeration, fabrication, embellishment and tall-tell-tale-telling--LYING IN REAL TIME--this web-based work examines the act of lying as it applies to cyberspace. The Lies Project suggests fabrication or embellishment as a currency in the construction of everyday culture.
The Lies Project is an interactive web-site where viewers are invited to enter a virtual lying booth and submit their lies. Participant submissions continually generate woven networks of lies that in turn produce and sustain a virtual community. However, The Lies Project intends to make systematic alterations to the virtual world(s) that these lies attempt to construct--to question and challenge the power structures that are built with these words and that in turn govern our everyday interactions.
About the artist
Born in Toronto, Canada in 1980, Emily Hermant is an award-winning textile and installation artist. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Distinction, in Studio Arts [Concentration: Fibres] and Religion, from Concordia University. Hermant's work has been shown in Canada and the USA and her cyber-work has been shown internationally. Hermant's recent professional activity include a thematic residency for Art's Birthday Festival at Studio XX in Montreal and contributor to Reverie: NoiseCity, a virtual urban landscape on the web organized by the Western Front Society and aaeol in Vancouver, Canada.
Hermant's current research investigates ways of integrating traditional notions of craft and textile production with the fastly evolving fields of digital technologies and new medias. Hermant is particularly interested in how traditional techniques such as embroidery, burnout and weaving used to create a 'personal' space find their parallels in the hyper text mark-up and other languages of virtual space. Hermant now lives and works in Montreal.
