Career

Annette Weintraub is a media artist whose work focuses on the conceptual representation of architecture and urban space and on the issue of private versus public space. Her complex web projects feature multiple nonlinear storylines constructed using mixed media (commonly video, audio, photography, and text). Weintraub is a pioneer of web-based artwork: her first web work, Realms, was made for Netscape Navigator 1.1, which was released in the early 1990s. Her second web work, Pedestrians (from the mid-1990s) uses scrolling text to reference walking as an entry point into thinking about life in the city. [2] The text is combined with looping GIF animations to create a dynamic nonlinear narrative or "living collage." [3]

Weintraub has been widely shown internationally, with work in the Whitney Biennial (2000), [4] Video Biennal Israel, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the 5th Biennial of Media and Architecture (Graz, Austria), SIGGRAPH, ISEA, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the International Center for Photography (New York), the Everhart Museum (Scranton, Pennsylvania), Heara 8 (Jerusalem), the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center (Georgia), and many others. She has had new works commissioned by Turbulence, the Rushlikon Centre for Global Dialogue, CEPA, and the Whitney Artport website. Her work is in the collections of the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (Connecticut), the Fine Arts Museum of Long Island (New York), the Wichita Art Museum (Kansas), and others. [1] Weintraub was the recipient of a Silver Award in I.D. magazine's Interactive Media Review.

In 1995, she co-authored the College Art Association's Guidelines for Faculty Teaching in Computer-Based Media in Fine Art and Design.
