(in)AUTHENTIC: Woman, War, Jew (2007) is a Web Art project that was initiated in 1999 and ultimately took many forms, including a Web Art piece in collaboration with early web artist Robert Edgar, known of his Memory Theater works, which he described as “an interactive postmodern metaphor.”
Rapoport reflects upon her own cosmos of gender, race, science, and mythology and makes use of images of military tanks, African hairstyles, mitochondria, Jungian mythical archetypes, and photographs of women from the New York Times. These are accompanied by recordings of an imaginary dialogue between French feminist Luce Irigaray, Sigmund Freud and Jean-Paul Sartre.
This work takes the form of Web Art hosted by Robert Edgar, a 10 minute video of interaction with the Web Work, and a publication in the book In Transition Russia, 2008 (pages 124-135).
Note: As of 2023, (in)AUTHENTIC is not online due to technical issues. Unfortunately, the video is not available either. Please view In Transition Russia 2008 for a non-interactive version of this project.
