"Mez
does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic have done for ASCII Art:
Turning a great, but naively executed concept into something brilliant,
paving the ground for a whole generation of digital artists." (Florian Cramer). The impact of her unique code/net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language "mezangelle"] has been equated with the work of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall. Mez has exhibited extensively since the early 90s [eg Wollongong
