Biography VNS Matrix 
emerged from the cyberswamp during a Southern Australian Summer circa 1991 … They make works which ironically integrate theory with popular culture. The impetus of the group is to investigate and decipher the narratives of domination and control which surround high technological culture, and explore the construction of social space, identity and sexuality in cyberspace. They believe that by hijacking the tools of domination and control those groups which have been traditionally alienated from high technologies by virtue of class, race or gender can introduce a rupture into a highly systematised culture. Infecting the machines with radical thought diverts them from their inherent purpose of linear topdown mastery, creating new uncolonised and inherently anarchic spaces for the exchange of ideas and information, and cultural expression.
