Angie Waller is a visual artist who has lived in Los Angeles, California, and New York City. She has created works based on data mining and those that feature found objects in videos, installations and websites.〔(Brendan Carroll, "Internet Forager Shuns Art World; Embraces Open Source," ''Art21 Magazine,'' September 24, 2012 )〕〔(Rebecca Dube, "Frenemies Can Be Hard on the Heart," ''The Globe and Mail,'' June 27, 2007, updated April 3, 2009 )〕 ==Career== Waller used the data-mining technique to develop her 2003 ''Data Mining the Amazon,'' a limited-edition work based on a feature of used by Amazon.com where purchasers are told what other buyers had also purchased.〔(Fi Glover, "You Like Bush? You Must Be a Nu-Metal Fan," ''The Guardian,'' August 27, 2003 )〕 She discovered "associations between pop culture and books that described a specific political ideology."〔(Jonah Brucker-Cohen, "Interview With Angie Waller," ''Rhizome,'' November 19, 2003 )〕 ''Armored Cars: Protect Yourself From Ballistic Attacks'' was a 2009 video and photographic collage compiled from marketing materials produced by manufacturers of armored cars which the ''The New York Times'' noted as playing "to post-9/11 insecurities and the fears of the wealthy in politically unstable regions."〔(Karen Rosenberg, "Art in Review: Custom Car Commandos," ''The New York Times,'' February 27, 2009 )〕 Charissa N. Terranova, a professor of aesthetic studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, compared Waller's "own process of video fabrication" to "the fabrication of corporate truth as a ploy in the marketing of armored cars."〔 Charissa N. Terranova, ''(Prosthetic: Technological Mediation and the Car in Conceptual Art )'', University of Texas Press, January 16, 2014, pages 214-215. ISBN 9780292754515〕 In 2010 Waller wrote ''Originality Compass and Copyright Law,'' a work consisting of quotations from U.S. copyright cases that was displayed in both New York and Mexico.〔(Carolyn Wong, "After Years of Copyright Law Reviewing Art, an Artist Reviews Copyright Law," ''Lexology,'' May 6, 2011 )〕〔(Alice Gregory, "Words and Other Crimes," ''Idiom,'' September 1, 2010 )〕〔(Lori Waxman, "An Alternative Summer Reading List," ''Chicago Tribune,'' July 13, 2011 )〕 In 2011 she rebound 45 books in identical covers, with similar foiled titles, all of which contained the word ''unknown.'' As part of the project, she began a quarterly online newsletter entitled "We provide timely information you didn't know you didn't know."〔(Sarah Bodman, "Transforming Artist Books: What Do You Want to Make Today?" ''Tate,'' August 22, 2013 )〕 Another piece was ''Most Searched Fears,'' mounted in 2012, which was a word cloud printed by letterpress in glow in the dark type so that visitors had to stand behind a dark curtain or in a dark room to see it.〔("Squareeater and Unknown Unknowns Recap," ''Pretty Conceptual,'' December 4, 2012 )〕 She has also presented ''The Most Boring Places in the World, 2009,'' an interactive site organized into a Google maps tour, which features every mention of the phrase "the most boring place in the world" in chatrooms and in blogs and live journals that she could find from January 10 to May 1, 2009. The quotations are paired with satellite images of cities and towns.〔(Ceci Moss, ''rhizome.com,'' October 28, 2010 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angie Waller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
