You are invited to join All New Gen and her DNA Sluts-the super powerful Patina de Panties, Dentata, and the Princess of Slime-in their battle against Big Daddy Mainframe and his technobimbo sidekicks-Circuit Boy, Streetfighter and other total dicks-whom you will encounter in the Contested Zone. Welcome to the world of ALL NEW GEN: the radically transgressive, interactive computer game for non-specific genders. In 1993 VNS Matrix debuted their computer art game/installation All New Gen at the Experimental Art Foundation Gallery in Adelaide which received national interest, critical acclaim, and wildly enthusiastic reviews. In 1991, they wrote their " A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century." Though the manifesto was designed for the Internet-reposted to various websites-it also piratically circulated through traditional media, including radio broadcast, television, posted in public spaces and placed in the printed advertisements of magazines. One of their first works was a 6 by 18 foot billboard announcing "the clitoris is a direct line to the matrix.". Their activist practice was concerned primarily with women's role in technology and art, specifically taking issue with "the gendered dominance and control of the new technologies" and exploring, "the construction of social space, identity and sexuality in cyberspace" VNS Matrix was an Australian feminist artist group who were active from 1991 to 1997. They are credited as being amongst the first artists to use the term cyberfeminism to describe their practice. Taking their point of departure in a sexualised and socially provocative relationship between women and technology the works subversively questioned discourses of domination and control in the expanding cyber space. Their work included installations, events, and posters distributed through the Internet, magazines, and billboards. VNS Matrix was an artist collective founded in Adelaide, Australia, in 1991, by Josephine Starrs, Julianne Pierce, Francesca da Rimini and Virginia Barratt.
