Selected Works by Ansgard Thomson
- A RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION
January 2008
Truly Virtual Web Art
Museum
It's been 10 years since work by Ansgard Thomson
was exhibited at Truly Virtual Web Art Museum at www.lastplace.com.
Work was inducted into the Cyberculture
Art Museum in 1998, one year after Lastplace.com went online. The
mission was, and still is, to promote digital art within the digital realm of
the Internet, showcasing exhibits globally and with the perpetuity of a museum collection. Later, the artist was selected to do a millennium
exhibition for the Web site. At the time she jokingly said that she
was probably the "oldest Canadian digital artist." Now, at 84,
Thomson should be recognized for the contribution she has made to our medium as
well as to the Internet cyber-culture. This invitation to exhibit once
more, a decade since our acquaintance as fellow digital artists, is a showcase
of her
work in digital art over the years.
It is an honor to pay tribute to the works and tireless effort of my good friend and fellow artist, Ansgard Thomson of Edmonton, Canada.
