Antoni Muntadas
Antoni Muntadas (born in 1942 in Barcelona) is a multidisciplinary, pioneering media artist, sometimes also referred to as Antonio Muntadas or, simply, Muntadas. Since 1971, he lives and works in New York. His work has been exhibited widely, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Venice Biennale, documenta 6 and documenta X. In 1995, he was awarded an Ars Electronica Golden Nica for his well-known work "The File Room" [1]. It is an early and ongoing Internet art project, started in 1994, consisting of an open database of cases of censorship. Another long-term work, "On Translation" [1], deals with language and the notion of translation, interpretation and transcription. The project was realized in various formats over the years, including several different exhibitions and a website hosted by the seminal Internet art gallery äda'web.
