Muriel Magenta née Zimmerman is an American visual artist working in new media genres of computer art, installation, multimedia performance as well as video and sculpture.
[2] Magenta's video art in the 1980s used controversial techniques such as leaving all crew members uncredited and using a pastiche style utilizing entire segments from the work of peers.
Coincidentally, this style was popularized more prominently in the film industry by Quentin Tarantino in the 1990s who instead was candid about his influences from different genres.
[4][5][6] She has curated exhibitions, such as Push Comes to Shove: Women and Power, in collaboration with the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Arizona State University.
