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.

More info about the Guests:
Lottie Child. Street Training - http://streettraining.org/
Urban survival skills for the 21st century. The ways in which we behave, the ability to negotiate the multiplicity of forces at play in city streets - through engagement of spontaneous urban interventions, we may find that we have the most effective personalised combination of artistic and political expression we possess. By exploring the potential of our considered and instinctive behaviours we can reshape our environments, reconnect and have more agency in the world we live in.
Space Makers Agency - http://spacemakers.org.uk/
Rethinking the spaces in which we spend our time. We work with all kinds of people and organisations to create sociable spaces and sustainable local economies. We research the changing ways in which people are using space and develop new ways of thinking about the spaces in which we live, work and play. Our Associates are artists, activists and entrepreneurs with a passion for creating exciting, sociable, economically- and environmentally-sustainable spaces — and a history of making things happen.
Dougald Hine got interested in the creative reuse of empty buildings when he was a journalist and activist in Sheffield. Five years later, he started Space Makers to bring together artists, architects, policy-makers, squatters and anyone else interested in rethinking what we do with underused space. Over the past six months, the Space Makers team has been filling twenty empty shops in Brixton Village/Granville Arcade indoor market with temporary creative projects and new community-driven businesses.
Pete Gravell. Science educator and founder of http://teachbox.net - a platform that enables teachers to share ideas and resources. Interested in IT accessibility and engaging the community with technology.

Revisiting...
Revisiting...
http://www.furtherfield.org
Furtherfield.org has always felt proud to be working with people who dare to explore beyond traditional remits at the intersections of art, technology and social change; whether writing about it, making it or curating it.
The array of artworks, activities and outlooks that make up this community is not only diverse, it is always immediate and present, alive and kicking. We are not yet jaded by the opportunities the Internet provides to own, shape and exchange our own cultural production and celebrate the varied and talented individuals and groups who share with us, this ever expansive and dynamic culture. So, we thought it worth reminding you how alive things really are, by inviting you to revisit the reviews/articles/interviews which have been published on the Furtherfield.org website since the end of January this year, 2010.
Below is a selection of those reviews...
Decode: Digital Design Sensations at V&A.
Rob Myers reviews the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibition
Decode: Digital Design Sensations. Framed as a digital design
show, but it's a landmark survey of art computing in all but name.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=386
SMartCAMP: The Arts on the Social Web. Review by Angela Ferraiolo.
Part of New York's Art Week, SMartCAMP, or social media art camp,
took place on March 5th and 6th, at the Roger Smith Hotel in
New York, a slightly unusual kind of place in that it's a hotel
with its own production company.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=385
An Interview with Chris Dooks. Interview by Marc Garrett.
A 'Polymath' exploring various creative avenues, making his art
using different media. Whether it be directing arts-based TV
documentaries, explorative psychogeographical projects, design,
composing and making music or audio visual installations.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=382
F.A.T Lab at Transmediale.10.
Article/interview by Marcello Lussana and Gaia Novati.
F.A.T Lab (Free Art and Technology Lab) were found causing
trouble at the Transmediale.10 this year. Marcello Lussana and
Gaia Novati were intrigued to find out what all the fuss was
about - some observations and an interview.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=384
HTML Color Codes. Review by Susan Ballard.
The Internet exhibition features a selection of internet based
artwork that address the topic of digital color. The central
question that the exhibition poses is whether or not artists
working with the internet are in fact limited to a "ready-made"
color palette, a premise that many artists working with film,
photography, and mass produced, standardized paint sets have
assumed.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=383
Transmediale.10 - Futurity Now!
A collaborative review by Marcello Lussana and Gaia Novati.
This year's edition of Transmediale explores the theme futurity
now through connections between arts and technology. Marcello
Lussana and Gaia Novati take us through some of the highlights
of the exhibition, conference programme and satellite events.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=380
Digital Pioneers. Review by Rob Myers.
At the V & A Museum, An overview of the first decades of the
computer's history in art and design. including some of the
earliest computer-generated works in the V&A's collections,
many of which have never been exhibited in the UK before.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=381
If not you not me. Article by Ruth Catlow.
This essay accompanies If not you not me, an exhibition of
networked performance art by Annie Abrahams. While social
networking sites make us think of communication as clean and
transparent, Abrahams creates an Internet of feeling - of
agitation, collusion, ardour and apprehension.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=378
Mark Napier's Venus 2.0. Review by Angela Ferraiolo.
Venus 2.0 consists of software written by the artist that
collects images of the body parts of Pamela Anderson, an
erotic icon of our time, from the hundreds of pictures of
her available on the Internet and recreates a mobile,
three-dimensional figure out of these flat, fragmentary pictures.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=379
Representing Labor: Ten Thousand Cents and Amazon's Mechanical Turk.
Review by Madeleine Clare Elish.
Madeleine offers here a review of Ten Thousand Cents, a
project by artists Aaron Koblin and Takashi Kawashima.
Although she acknowledges the beauty of the project
Madeleine points to its conceptual ambivalence.
