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.

Do It With Others (DIWO): E-Mail-Art from the NetBehaviour List.
==================================================
HTTP Gallery, London : http://www.http.uk.net
Thursday 1st March 7-9pm (Unprivate view)
Exhibition dates: 2nd March - 1st April
Gallery opening hours: Friday - Sunday: 12noon - 5pm

============================================
The Do It With Others (DIWO) E-Mail-Art exhibition aims to highlight the
already thriving imaginations of those who use social networks and
digital networks on the Internet as a form of distribution. Just like
Mail Art, E-Mail-Art bridges the divide between artists and non artists
to share a freely accessible form of distribution.
The Mail Art projects of the 60s, 70s and 80s demonstrated Fluxus
artists' common disregard for the distinctions of 'high' and 'low' art
and a disdain for what they saw as the elitist gate-keeping of the
'high' art world. They often took the form of themed, 'open calls', in
which all submissions were exhibited and catalogued. Mail Art has always
been a useful way to bypass curatorial restrictions for those who wish
to create active and imaginative exchange on their own terms; this form
of activity usually flourishes outside of the gallery system.
This E-Mail-Art exhibition, intends to follow the spirit of past Mail
Art endeavours by asking those submitting their works to open themselves
to a shared dialogue as part of the process and medium on the
NetBehaviour mail list, as a playful platform for experimentation
together at the same time.
The theme of this E-Mail-Art project is Do It With Others (DIWO).
This project suggests that we extend the DIY ethos of some early net art
and tactical media, towards a more collaborative, DIWO approach. Peers
connect, communicate and collaborate, creating controversies, structures
and culture using both digital networks and shared physical environments.
