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.

Re: Associations: Are you normal? What is normal?


Thanx,

I'm up to 80% normal - which frightens me...

> Link: http://kickme.to/associations
>
> Associations is an interactive internet installation designed to allow you
to ponder how some central terms and concepts might be associated and to
allow you to compare your associations with those of others that came before
you.
>
> You are presented with five words - one in the center and four associated
words surrounding it. The surrounding words are selected based on the
associations of previous visitors with a random element. You are invited to
contemplate the relationship between the central word and the surrounding
ones, and select the one which you think is more strongly associated. Then
the selected word becomes the central one, and you are presented with four
new surrounding words. If you do nothing, the surrounding words will change
at a fixed interval.
>
> When the installation has collected enough data about you, it calculates
your normality index score, an indication of how your associations compare
to those of other visitors.
>
> I hope you find this installation interesting, and that you are presented
with some thought-provoking associations that will allow you to explore your
own conscience as well as the rich common conscience of the English
language.
