As artist, co-founder and co-director of Furtherfield.org media arts organisation and its gallery HTTP Gallery in North London, I work at the intersection of art, technology and social change with artists, curators, musicians, programmers, writers, activists and thinkers from around the world. I am currently developing the artistic programme and organisational infrastructure with a focus on sustainability and Media Art Ecologies, aspiring to engender shared visions and infrastructures for other possible worlds.

For many years, I have focused on notions of national identity, tourism, borders and identity as themes within my creative practice. Since 1995, I have been working with the www and digital video installation and have participated in: Luminous Green 2008; ANAT Open Source Lab 2007; ISEA2008; AOIR 2006; ISEA2004; Siggraph 2001; N5M4, Amsterdam 2003; N5M3; MAAP’99 and MAAP2000. In 2007, I co-founded the Canberra chapter of dorkbot with Alexandra Gillespie and was a moderator on the internationally renowned new media list –empyre- from 2005-07. My web site http://www.byte-time.net has been online for over 10 years and is part of the Natioanl Library of Australia's Pandora archive.
