Myron Turner is a multi-media artist whose work has combined photography, light-boxes, printmaking and computers. He has exhibited in public galleries and artist run centers throughout Canada, as well as in the United States, the U.K. and South America, and his prints have twice won awards at the Boston Printmakers North American Biennial. He has been working with the Internet since 1994.

His new media work often has a strong text-based component and sits on top of a substrate of programming technologies that include javascript, perl, php, unix, shell scripting, and java. These technologies have enabled him to explore ideas about the Internet and networking. During the past few years he has been interested in the idea that the Internet is a space, something like the space of massive architectural structures that can’t be taken in all at once, which can only be known by being imagined, and that "net art" is defined more by the imaginative relationship between the individual and the network than by its physical manifestations in the browser.

His work for the web has been included in various on-line exhibitions and collections, including "data/reference/art" at http://no-org.net/, the runme.org software art repository, rhizome.org artbase, "RRF 2004---XP" (http://newmediafest.org,), sendecki.com, and Machinista 2003/Artificial Intelligence and Art. It has also been exhibited in gallery installations. He has held grants in New Media at the Banff Centre for the Arts, where he has also participated as an invited panelist. In 1994 he co-founded the Manitoba Visual Arts Network. Most recently he has been nominated for a Viper International Award for BstatZero (http://bstatzero.org), which will be officially launched in February 2006 on the Whitney Museum of American Art Artport site (http://www.whitney.org).
