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.

*Live Online Interview with Andy Deck on the VisitorsStudio*
Don't miss this once only real-time event.......
Wednesday 11th August
New York 2 pm, London 7 pm (BST)
VisitorsStudio: http://www.furtherstudio.org/live (Just go to the URL
and log in)
Following the recent retrospective of Andy Deck's work at Furtherfield
he will join Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow in the VisitorsStudio for a
real-time multimedia interview about his work. This event will combine a
discussion of his work and unique, live, collaborative mixes of images,
animations and sounds sampled from past and current projects. The
interview will explore the following issues and more....
- about artists cultivating a political awareness and taking a political
stance in their work.
- 'Visiting Artists', collective authorship and activating audiences.
- war sim games and the potential to create counter-narratives against
the corporate driven war inevitability myth.
*About Andy Deck*
Creating art software since 1990 and then moving onto the Internet in
1994 Andy Deck displays his digital based explorations at
artcontext.net and andyland.net
'In the net art activist world there have been many inspiring talents
who have shone through the flickering, radiated haze of our computer
monitors. Andy Deck is one of those individuals who, has somehow
succeeded in maintaining a consistent integrity in his work, without
glorifying himself above the work itself. Instead of falling for the
whimsical self-historicizing art = personality myth, he has chosen to
position his work in a socio-cultural context, actively questioning
life's political struggles. He also collaborates with other artists and
with people who are not seen or known as artists.' From 'Andy Deck
Retrospective' by Marc Garrett
