Hidden Alliances
Elisabeth Schimana and the IMAfiction Series

Ars Electronica Festival 2018 | Featured Artist

Perplexed by what was purported to be a world without female artists in the electronic music/​art genre, Elisabeth Schimana embarked on a search in the 1990s. Projects like portrait 01 − Die Futuristin − produced by ORF − Austrian Broadcasting Company’s Ö1 Kunstradio – led, following the founding of the IMA Institute of Media Archeology in 2005, to a series of video portraits with the title IMAfiction, in which 10 female artists, pioneers of their time, told rather a different story and together wove a fascinating network of interrelationships.
