JOSEPH NECHVATAL Joseph Nechvatal's visual art works in the 1980s involving "collaborations" with viral systems positioned his work as an early contribution to what is increasingly referred to as a post-human aesthetic. Nechvatal's computer-robotic assisted paintings and animations are shown regularly in galleries and museums throughout the world. From 1991-1993 he worked as artist-in-resident at the Louis Pasteur Atelier and launched the The Computer Virus Project at Saline Royale / Ledoux Foundation's computer lab in Arbois, France. In 2002 he extended that artistic research into the field of viral artificial life through his collaboration with the programmer Stéphane Sikora. Nechvatal has exhibited his work internationally, including exhibitions at the Brooke Alexander Gallery and Universal Concepts Unlimited in New York City, Documenta 8 in Kassel, Germany (1987), the Butler Institute of American Art's Beecher Center and the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University, NY, and venues in Paris, Cologne, Alalst, Belgium, Lund and Munich. In the early 1980s Nechvatal was associated with the artist group Colab and helped establish the non-profit cultural space ABC No Rio. In 1983 he co-founded the avant-garde electronic art music audio project Tellus. In 1984, he worked on an opera called XS: The Opera Opus (1984-5) with the no wave musical composer Rhys Chatham.
