The discipline of intermedia, as searched on Wikipedia, mainly mentioned male artist’s [Dick Higgin’s] and university art programs with male professors. The only female mentioned was Karen Finley. Checking the link to Karen Finley personal page, it was disturbing [but not in the least bit surprising] to find that although her art was reviewed, little was said about her social activism and feminist stance. Not only was the intermedia page gendered toward male artists, but the intermedia page was highly westernized (classist), only mentioning American performance artists. Japanese artists; Yayoki Kusama and Yoko Ono, were excluded, among many other global intermedia feminist artists.

To fill the gaps in Wikipedia would be impossible. Considering Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and will never be such, it has honestly been very hard for me to take on this assignment with any seriousness. Being that this assignment has limited educational use, it seems like a gross lie to add to this website; a website I specifically avoid when doing research of any kind. I understand the idea behind this assignment, because not every individual who ‘searches’ online are academic students, but I don’t morally believe in adding to this global and perpetual lie. The more ‘truth’s’ [as reliable sources] that are interwoven into the half-truths and lies of the patriarchy, the more difficult it will be for people to see the hidden deceptions of the institutionalized ideologies that control our nation and other westernized nations.
