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.

Re: ANTI WAR ART
Hi there Joao,
I think that one of the most obvious things that has come out of this (for
western nations), is that the governments who claim the 'badge' of democracy
are in fact trapped by corporations dictating their motions, thus not
listening to their civilians needs. Not unusual for any country of course,
which kind of tells us that we are either a long way from such utopian
desires of democratic reasonings within societal structures, or that we as
civilians need to chose alternative strategies somehow. For instance
anti-corporate spies of whom are willing to dismantle their powers via
sabotage, this could be done in a non violent way; finding patrons who wish
for the same thing. Creating 'robin Hood' type business execs infiltrating
these corrupt businesses from the inside.
This is what the marches seem to reflect to me, plus many other things about
the failure of people themselves to get together until now. People need to
take the media, insitutions, reclaim it back and start something new...

The biggest march in UK's history
We have furtherfield documenting the march in London this very moment &
right now the media is admitting that 1.5 million people are in Hyde Park
Protesting against War - The biggest march in UK's history.
And there are still hundreds and thousands of people entering London for the
march - a day to be proud of those who value life over government and
corporate power.
