Summary:

Bio is a hybrid work that reconfigures canceled text and the World Wide Web. It captures a span of 365 days during which the artist updated the 160-character "bio" section of her Twitter account each day. While tweets are regularly captured by corporate data storage centers this "bio" section remains the only untraceable and non-archived part of the software's superstructure. Bio, created via a proprietary app, ultimately left no record of itself, complicating the normative binaries of online/offline and digital/print. An experiment in erasure, self-deletion, and visibility in the expanded sphere of the net, Bio anchors itself in the wider lineage of artists' canceled texts, but in the age of new data as "soft" power.
