Life and work
Bosma was born in Hengelo, Netherlands, in 1962.[3] She lives and works in Amsterdam.[1]
From 1993, Bosma made radio reports and interviews for local and national radio stations on art, new media and media theory.[1][4] She became associated with critical internet culture in the 1990s, including discussions around net.art, Nettime and Rhizome. Chronus Art Center describes her as one of the figures involved in critical Internet discourse and practice through email lists such as Nettime and Rhizome from 1997 onward.[1]
Her writing has appeared in books, catalogues and periodicals concerned with art, media and digital culture. Chronus Art Center lists publications including Ars Electronica, Telepolis, Mute, DU, Metropolis M and Frieze d/e among the outlets in which her writing has appeared.[1] For Media Art Net, she wrote the essay "Constructing Media Spaces: The novelty of net(worked) art was and is all about access and engagement".[5]
Bosma's work has also appeared in academic contexts. She contributed the chapter "Art as Experience: Meet the Active Audience" to the Routledge volume Network Art: Practices and Positions, edited by Tom Corby.[6] Her article "Post-Digital Is Post-Screen" appeared in APRJA in 2014.[7]
