In 1991 her book on the "auto-destructive art symposium" will be published. This DIAS (destruction in art) event took place in London in 1996. Among the participants were: Yoko Ono, Herman Nitsch, Joseph Beuys, Peter Weibel, Vostell etc. Kristine Stiles will speak about destruction as a concept in art and she will refer to the destructive power of technology in this context.
