About the Book

Lucia Grossberger Morales weaves together her bicultural roots using the personal computer. She was born in Bolivia in 1952, emigrated to the United States when she was three and returned for a visit at sixteen. Since that visit, Bolivia has been her inspiration. Lucia is a pioneer in computer art. In 1979, she bought her first computer, the Apple II. For the next seven years, she collaborated on several software packages, including The Designers Toolkit, published by Apple Inc. In 1987, she began telling her stories of Bolivia, emigrating, and issues of identity in her multimedia installations and CD-ROMs. Her interactive installations and CD-ROMs have been shown in galleries and museums around the world.
About the Author: Lucia Grossberger Morales was born in Catavi, Bolivia during the Revolution of 1952. In 1955, her family fled to New York City, fearing for their safety. On her fifth birthday, she heard a voice that told her she must tell her story. In 1979, Lucia found the tool she would use to tell her stories, the first personal computer, the Apple II. She is one of the pioneers of interactive digital art and the first Latina digital artist. She spent the 80s and early 90s participating in the vibrant and supportive atmosphere of the Silicon Valley. She coauthored several book/disk packages including; "The Designer's Toolkit" published by Apple Computer in 1982; "AppleVisions: A Unique Approach To Assembly Language Programming" published by Addison Wesley in 1987 and reprinted in 1988. Steve Wozniak, the inventor of the Apple II computer, wrote the Forward. Lucia's passions are her personal stories. Using interactive multimedia in the interactive installation, Sangre Boliviana, she tells her story of being born during the Revolution of '52, immigrating to the United States, returning to Bolivia and finding the richness of the festivals, agriculture, food and weavings, as well as the poverty and disenfranchise of the indigenous people. Her recent interactive works explore her dreams and different states of consciousness. Lucia's shrines, interactive installations, and CD-ROMs have been shown in museums and galleries around the world including the Mexican Museum in San Francisco, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Palm Springs Museum of Art, Oakland Museum of Art, Museo de Bellos Artes in La Paz, etc. Additionally, her interactive pieces have been shown in film shows including Mill Valley Film Show and the Dallas Film Show.
