A conversation between G.H. Hovagimyan and Mark Cooley conducted 
through electronic mail.

Hovagimyan with Cooley about his experiences around censorship in art 
culture, identifying some of the taboos which tend to influence 
responses from potential censors (curators, board members, sponsors, 
politicians, and other interested parties). As well as the economics, 
funding and criterias around art practice, and how that shapes the 
context of how art is seen and presented in an art framework and what 
this means.

G.H. Hovagimyan is an experimental digital artist working in a 
variety of forms. He was one of the first artists in New York to 
start working with the Internet in the early nineties. His work 
ranges from hypertext works to digital performance art and 
installations. His streamed video talk shows, Art Dirt and Collider 
explore and document the artists of the digital art scene at the time 
circa 1995-2000.
