Extract from Japanzine Jan 01
Ever the interactive adventurer, Martin has recently embarked on a project that might be best described as visual remixing. On the March is a new work in progress, in which the artist invites you to download one of her pictures and "remix" it as you see fit. The finished product should be mailed back to the Martin, who will choose her favorites to exhibit in a Tokyo installation sometime in the coming year." On The March gives artists, fans, anyone the chance to take one of my complete drawings and remix it in their own special way. It's a project that will grow and evolve by itself." As Martin favors the black-line-on-white-paper approach, On the March is a response to audience feedback, much of which focuses on the absence of color. So far, the artist is delighted with the reactions the experiment has provoked. New remixes are regularly featured on her website.
