Coco Fusco is an artist born in New York City in 1960. She is born of Cuban-American decent and has become an artist and writer since 1988. She does performance which she has expressed internationally. She also uses electronic media and combines it with performance to produce various formats. Some include live performances which she streams to the internet, as well as large scale projections. From here she generally invites audiences to chart live-chat interaction. Currently Fusco is a faculty member at the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons The New School for Design. Currently, Coco Fusco is developing a series of performances that will examine the role of female interrogators in the War on Terror. With all her work, she focuses on the relationship between women and society, war, politics and race.
I found Coco interesting because from the images of her projects, it looks like she takes it to the extreme. Doing this is always necessary in order to really make an issue stand out. It is only when you can recognize the problem that it can be properly evaluated and then improved.
