Adriene Jenik is a telecommunications media artist who has been working for over fifteen years as an artist, educator, curator, administrator, and engineer. Her works - including El Naftazteca (with Guillermo Gomez-Pena), Mauve Desert: A CD-ROM Translation, and Desktop Theater (with Lisa Brenneis and the DT troupe) - use the collision of "high" technology and human desire to propose new forms of literature, cinema, and performance.

Her recent works (the ActiveCampus Explorientation and SPEC-FLIC) instigate large-scale public art events over community-wide wireless networks.
