Natalie Bookchin

This is one of the artists I used for my paper.
Natalie Bookchin was born in 1962. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the State University of New York in 1984 and a master of fine arts degree in photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1990. She now lives in Los Angeles where she is a faculty member at the California Institute for the Arts. She works collaboratively and independently and exhibits, performs and lectures widely in the United States and Europe and on the Internet.
I found her work rather interesting, because not only is she a contemporary artist but a political one as well.
She creates video games, but her games are not typical from the games you are used to playing, because her intention is not just to provide entertainment but to also critize political agenda.
the intruder which is one of the games she has created is a critique of patriachal violence, and Metapet criticizes corporate culture.
