G.H. Hovagimyan | The Activated Archive
Pioneer of Net.Art (Whitney Biennial, MoMA, ZKM)
G.H. Hovagimyan (b. 1950) is a foundational figure of the digital avant-garde. From the landmark 1993 BKPC legal challenge to contemporary "In-Situ" Augmented Reality, his work bridges the conceptual rigor of Joseph Kosuth and Daniel Buren with the decentralized logic of the 21st century.
