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.

Last night at Dissension Convention- Tonight: Not to be missed!
Hi All,
Last night at the Dissension Convention saw two cracking, energetic
collaborative mixes. These ran alongside the march of 250,000+
protesters against Bush and the Republicans on the streets of New York.
It was amazing to see 2 such distinctly different approaches. The first
performance by Patrick, Maya & Marc took a psychological approach; it
was dark, rich and gutsy with great sounds. Moport.org & Glowlab were
right in the thick of things in New York, receiving moment by
moment,worrying updates of violent arrests. They jammed with images of
the street protests and texts from the multitude sent in through the
Moport facility. This was totally different style and content;
grass-roots, journalistic, observant and serious. Mez contributed to the
New Yorker's mix with her inimitable, apposite, code poetry chat.
Tonight promises to be a corker too with VS virtuoso, Chris Web & street
poet Concrete Myrth (standing in for Sim) and 3 fine net art poets,
Lewis Lacook, Alan Sondheim and Sheila Murphy.
Not to be missed!
