Citizen Ann: New Media Girl
How did a Thai girl get involved with European giant Benetton?
It's a bit of story, but in a nutshell: after I finished graduate school (Interactive Telecommunications Program, New York University), I was lucky enough to be selected as part of a team from NYU to do an art installation project in Nice, France at MAMAC (Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain). At the end of the 5-week residency, my partner (Mark Argo) arranged for a short visit to Fabrica, which is located near Venice, in Italy. So the team, which is myself, Mark Argo (www.markargo.com), and another artist Daniel Hirschmann (www.plankman.com), showed up at Fabricaand did a little show-and-tell of our work. A few short months later, we were all back at Fabrica as research fellows for the Interactive department. Fabrica is a creative research center sponsored by Benetton, so that's how I am connected with Benetton. And no, we don't design the clothes. :)
