Sonya Rapoport, a multimedia artist, traces five decades of her career, coalescing art, science and technology. She provides a personal history in a scientific context that leads her from painting and abstract expressionism to computer-assisted interactive installations and webworks. The artist uses the metaphor of the golem, her self-described avatar, as a means to question and explain the autobiographical evolution of her iconography, choice of media and style. Her journey includes the influences on her interdisciplinary art expression in which anthropology, chemistry, botany, religion and topics of gender and transculture are intermittently treated with parody, humor and mysticism.

Smell Your Destiny is a fishy tale that parodies the quest for success exhibited in the 21st-century cyber-personality. This article is adapted from the author's web project, where traits formerly considered undesirable and now considered desirable for achieving success are administered to the populace by means of aromatherapy. Play-on-word medications, derived from the names of actual pharmaceuticals, are prescribed in pill form for ingestion by fish that swim in community gene pools. The pills induce curative fish fragrances that are exuded by the fish into the environment. Trait changes occur when residents breathe in the fumes, which are prescribed to accommodate current societal values. URLs and links within the work provide access to virtual smelling sites.
