Some contemporary artists (e.g.,
Beth Stryker) explore
the power of electronic art to guide the viewer to question what is
normal and to create alternatives to conventions of objectification,
aggression, and disembodiment. The work of Char
Davis, a cyberfeminist artist, has some similar intentions to CFH.
In her immersive site, aggressive behavior of speed and destruction
are punished by taking one back to the beginning. Mastering the environment
and realizing specific goals is thwarted too in her immersive environments
since the pedagogy that she espouses is that we can't control the world,
but that our actions impact our relation to the world. Her design uses
breathing to affirm one's identity rather than visual avatars. Catherine
Richards, a Canadian cyberfeminist artist, explores the power of
electronic art to challenge conventional notions of embodiment. Richards
refers explicitly in her art explorations to the computerized environments
as smart Environments, or the smart House.
