Summer Olia Lialina. Screenshot of animation comprising individual GIF images displayed across multiple websites. In a interview with Valeska Buehrer , artist Olia Lialina observed that her early web-based works, particularly My Boyfriend Came Back from the War , have been irrevocably changed by the accelerating speed of the internet.

Though the work is still as it was: same files, same address, links -- it is now more like a documentation of itself. Because everything else changed. First of all connection speed. I could now click through my work in one minute.

Book Synopsis Asymmetrical Response explores the relationship between humans and the internet through a collaboration between Russian internet artist Olia.
