Danille is fortunate to have been raised in California
and be exposed to technology from a very early age.
Her father, Richard L. Font, assisted in engineering and designing the first laser CD pick-up
that reads the CD-ROMs and DVDs of today. Thirty years
ago, her father came home with the first large-scale
laser disc and told her and her brothers that they would
contain movies, special effects, music and be a fraction
of the size in the future. As a child, Danille found
this hard to fathom due to the fact they where listening
to LP's and 8 tracks and cassettes were just being introduced
into the market place.
Danille has made it a special interest to document
the history of new media and current changes in the
San Francisco Bay Area, in the U.S., and abroad. Her current theoretical
and fine art work addresses these issues: the
political economy of new media and Internet business
expansion in Europe compared to the United States; the
use of online and magazine advertising images; the semiotics
of marketing strategies fueled by new media technology
and their impact. Her current article and fine art
work can be found under e-Commerce.
Danille's artwork also includes combining traditional and digital multimedia presentations in various formats such as sculpture, photography, video, digital prepress images, interactive CD-ROM publishing and large-scale multimedia installations.
