Hidden Alliances_versteckt verbunden
„The IMAfiction DVD series and Hidden Alliances publication constitute something of a milestone in the male-dominated genre of electronic music. More than just a much-needed record of the ground-breaking work of pioneering and contemporary artists and curators and the invisible relationships that bind them together, they map the broader connections, whether artistic, technological or conceptual between these women and the genre of electronic music as a whole.“ (Rahma Khazam)
In the book entitled Hidden Alliances_versteckt verbunden 20 female artists tell quite a different story and together they weave a fascinating network of interrelationships.

In 2018, the exhibition entitled Hidden Alliances – Elisabeth Schimana and the IMAfiction series held at ARS Electronica presented video portraits, artifacts, and performances by the IMAfiction artists.
The feedback was tremendous, and the idea to make a book based on the exhibition was born. To expand the network, all ten IMAfiction artists were asked to recommend another female artist in the electronic music/art field to be presented in the book.
