Josephine Bosma [jesis@xs4all.nl]
...has been making radio programs since 1991 - first she was involved in Radio Patapoe, an Amsterdam pirate radio station, where she did art radio, reporting and, mostly, a mix of these, focusing on "an investigation of the body in human perception of the world and its exchanges with it" - later she worked at the Dutch cultural radio/tv "organization" VPRO, where her team was put at the door "because of a lack of explanation about the issues they addressed". At that moment there was still an enormous gap between net culture and mass media.
Josephine "went into" new media through the idea of media as extensions of the nervous system - through her fascination for the internet as a focal point for communication and interhuman relations and as a place where the interconnectedness of disciplines - art, politics, philosophy, economy, sociology - is quite remarkable and obvious.
She organized the radio section of the next5minutes conference in Amsterdam, 1995. From the beginning of 1996 she started writing - interviews (about net.art, net.radio, cyberfeminism), later also her own texts.
