Mez Breeze
MEZ [Mary-Anne Breeze] has been progressively described as one of “the original net.artists” who is “…without doubt one of the most consistent, prolific, innovative artists working in new media today. Mez’s work with language has had a considerable effect on the language of many…”. The impact of her unique net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language “mezangelle”] has been equated with the work of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings, and Larry Wall.
Mez is also a virtual conference jillaroo, co-moderator of the Webartery Mailing list and freelance journalist. She is the 2001 Resident Artist at the WCG, has been awarded the 2001 VIF Prize by the Humboldt-Universitat in Berlin, was shortlisted for the prestigious 2001 Electronic Literature Organisation’s Fiction Award, and has just been awarded the JavaMuseums’ Artist Of The Year 2001 Award.
