Currently doing an Art history Phd at the University of London, Birkbeck College.
Net artist, media artist, curator, writer, street artist, activist, educationalist and musician. Emerging in the late 80′s from the streets exploring creativity via agit-art tactics. Using unofficial, experimental platforms such as the streets, pirate radio such as the locally popular ‘Savage Yet Tender’ alternative broadcasting 1980′s group, net broadcasts, BBS systems, performance, intervention, events, pamphlets, warehouses and gallery spaces. In the early nineties, was co-sysop (systems operator) with Heath Bunting on Cybercafe BBS with Irational.org.
Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change. As well as finding alternative ways around already dominating hegemonies, thus claiming for ourselves and our peer networks a culturally aware and critical dialogue beyond traditional hierarchical behaviours. Influenced by situationist theory, fluxus, free and open source culture, and processes of self-education and peer learning, in an art, activist and community context.

Update on Furtherfield's broadcasts on Resonance FM.
We have finished an extremely enjoyable, informative and challengiing season of broadcasts on Resonance FM, and are now having a break until September 2010.
But, don't expect us to slacken our passion in connecting with others. During this break-time, we will be recording interviews and preparing new programmes. In fact, we've already started.
The first season has already produced a rich and accessible archive (for download) of intelligent, 'live' radio based conversations and debate around Art, Technology and Social Change. Offering a valuable resource for all who are interested in furthering their knowledge of the wider context of a thriving media arts culture and varied related practices. We aim to change art and culture, by making the creative noise that we are proudly part of more visible to a larger audience, whilst maintaining its critical contexts at the same time.

.re_potemkin - Battleship Potemkin.
Dates:
Mon Jun 14, 2010 00:00 - Mon Jun 14, 2010
.re\_potemkin - Battleship Potemkin.

Review by Rob Myers.
.re\_potemkin is a crowdsourced re-make of the film "Battleship Potemkin". It is a ".f.reeP\_" project by .-\_-., part of a series of projects that embrace the ideology and means of production of contemporary media and technoculture in order to make art.
From December 2006 to January 2007 .-\_-. worked with 15 groups of students from Yildiz Technical University to reproduce Battleship Potemkin on a shot-by-shot basis. Not all shots were reproduced, there are empty black sections in the new film. The students and the setting of the university and its surrounds are very different from the locations and actors of Battleship Potemkin. .re\_potemkin is a non-profit project rather than a corporation, and as such it has adopted a GNU or Wikipedia-style copyleft licence.

Playing Hard: Urban Art Games of Summer 2010
Dates:
Mon Jun 14, 2010 00:00 - Mon Jun 14, 2010
Playing Hard: Urban Art Games of Summer 2010.

Article by Angela Ferraiolo.
Angela Ferraiolo investigates an international collection of different 'Urban Art Games', taking place this Summer 2010. And finds connections that directly and indirectly link to Situationist ideas and approaches, with artists creating alternate experiences, constructed situations, psychogeography projects, and play as a form of critical engagement & thinking. Featuring SFZero, Atmosphere Industries, The Crux Club, Opt-in Productions, Berlin Invisible Playground & Hakim Bey and more...
"Not long ago, urban games were a kind of novelty. Some grew out of the street performance tradition of live theater. Some came from gamers who were involved in tabletop RPG and wanted to experiment with live reenactment. Others were produced by media artists as a way of experimenting with new technologies like GPS and text messaging. But along with these approaches to play, and at times learning from their carefree attitude towards entertainment, there grew another tradition of the urban game, a tradition of using the city focusing on exploration, and as a specific kind of critique."

Welcome to the June issue of Furthernoise.org
Dates:
Sun Jun 06, 2010 00:00 - Sun Jun 06, 2010
Furthernoise issue June 2010
For your reading and listening pleasure, we have a hefty issue loaded with features and reviews on a diverse range of international noise makers. Our audio player is once again replenished with new sounds, so turn up the volume and enjoy !
"Something New: Moritz von Oswald Trio" (feature)
Vertical Ascent sees Moritz von Oswald return to the fray to conspire with fellow tech-vets, Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer. A hybrid of techno, dub and Fourth World fusion, the timbral density, low- and high-end science, and a certain recursion are remotely familiar from of old, with something new coming from a live performance element.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=335
feature by Alan Lockett
"Something Old: Monolake, Fluxion" (feature)
The 15th year of Monolake was inaugurated with Silence. Robert Henke's latest evidences plenty still left in the creative tank. Something old, renewed. The same cannot be said for lately returned once fellow-traveller, Fluxion, whose dub and tech-house infused Perfused gives off a less than fresh aroma. Something old, alas, gone blue.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=338
feature by Alan Lockett
"21st Century Preparation Man" (review)
Eric Glick Rieman's prepared Rhodes electric piano involves as much dismantling as insertion, with the insides spread across the performing space, not to mention electronic preparations. What sets Rieman's music apart immediately are the mechanical noises and other native artifacts of the original instrument.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=340
review by Caleb Deupree
"Fear of Stranglers - Gail Priest" (review)
For some time now, Gail Priest has been exploring the timbre and elasticity of sound in a way that has become distinctly her own. Her new ep, Fear of Stranglers, is the next installment of this exploration, and takes her vocal and sonic manipulations to new levels of textural improvisation and processing.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=343
review by Roger Mills
"Flight of the Solstice Queens - Blue Sausage Infant" (review)
Washington DC based Blue Sausage Infant paints a dizzying array of sonic wash pulsing with color and Flight of the Solstice Queens does not fit neatly in any given sub-genre of drone, noise, or psyche rock.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=341
review by Derek Morton
"L Phantasm - Brown Wing Overdrive" (review)
New York extreme noise improvisers, Brown Wing Overdrive are back with another sonic assault with their new album L Phantasm. A "best of" collection from their haunted states circa 2006 and beyond, they describe it as a "prequel to all of BWO's releases thus far." Roger Mills investigates.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=342
review by Roger Mills
"Something Blue: Pop Ambient 2010" (review)
Kompakt marks each year with an issue of drone and tone poems showcasing the best in neo-classical and ambient. Pop Ambient 2010, curated by Kompakt kommissar Wolfgang Voigt, coordinates the usual shades of blue from perennials Marsen Jules, Andrew Thomas, and Thomas Fehlmann, while Brock van Wey makes a PA debut.
http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=339
review by Alan Lockett
"Something Borrowed: Dettman, Van Hoesen" (review)
Berlin's Marcel Dettmann, pre-eminent post-mnml practitioner, delivers his debut, Dettman, which, for all its veneer, is deep in debt to classic techno. Fellow-traveller Belgian producer Peter van Hoesen’s solution to "Techno: the LP Problem" is to tinker with tempo and texture, his Entropic City relieved by cranked down bpms and grit spray.

"Something Borrowed: Dettman, Van Hoesen" (review)
