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.

Newsweek's Iraq Report Falls on Deaf Ears
Newsweek's Iraq Report Falls on Deaf Ears
By Norman Solomon, AlterNet
February 27, 2003
You gotta hand it to America's mass media: When war hangs in the balance,
they sure know how to bury a story.
After devoting thousands of network hours and oceans of ink to stories about
"weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, major U.S. news outlets did little
but yawn in the days after the March 3 issue of Newsweek published an
exclusive report on the subject - a piece headlined "The Defector's
Secrets."
It's hard to imagine how any journalist on the war beat could read the
article's lead without doing a double take: "Hussein Kamel, the
highest-ranking Iraqi official ever to defect from Saddam Hussein's inner
circle, told CIA and British intelligence officers and U.N. inspectors in
the summer of 1995 that after the Gulf War, Iraq destroyed all its chemical
and biological weapons stocks and the missiles to deliver them."

Killing by Numbers
Killing by Numbers
As the wind stretches it yawns across broken lands it brushes over lost
bodies disparate and battered blown, scattered into a state of timeless
disposability.
An electro Darkwave-Ballad, about a woman who has just been shot, lying in
rubble asking questions to a soldier before she dies 'why are so many men in
this world, so addicted to killing?'
