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.

Europe urges restraint, but Bush knows best
Europe urges restraint, but Bush knows best
By Eric Margolis
Contributing Foreign Editor
The Toronto Sun
January 26, 2003
Time's European edition asked its readers what nation posed the greatest
threat to world peace. Of the 268,000 respondents (as of this writing), 7.8%
replied North Korea, 8.9% named Iraq and a shocking 83.3% said the United
States. Good work, President Bush.
The Time poll mirrors feeling around the globe, with the exceptions of
Israel and Britain. American neo-conservatives, however, will dismiss this
poll as just another example of European wimpiness, irrelevance and
anti-American prejudice. So will George Bush and his hawkish entourage, who
have made it plain they don't care what the rest of the world thinks so long
as America and Israel get their way.

gravity
gravity http://www.furtherfield.org/otmonkeys/docs/gravity.htm
it has weight
no sound
it festers
on our clinging years
teezing, whispering
until we meet the ground
the messages are clear written on our bodies
inscribed by time's ever
too keen ball point
on our bodies
smiles and old faces are the traces
of the inevitable
we have called gravity
what once stood up must slump down
the human freight
can you feel its weight
as we wait for the
"
"
"
"
"
"
drop
our
time
verses gravity's
a collective reality
a universal dead beat rhyme
buildings crumble, decay
we do decay
we have no say
no say
and no way of changing
delaying
the pace of the gradual decline into the sublime
years are increasingly
subtracted
as we subside
to the
pull of gravity
activity decreases
movement becomes pivoted
polarized centralized marginalized
downwards
down.
.
.
.
we meet the core
of gravity
we fall closer
to the ground
we get closer to the sod
bloody sod
