Co-curating various contemporary Media Arts exhibitions, projects nationally and internationally. Co-editor of 'Artists Re:Thinking Games' with Ruth Catlow and Corrado Morgana 2010. Hosted Furtherfield's critically acclaimed weekly broadcast on UK's Resonance FM Radio, a series of hour long live interviews with people working at the edge of contemporary practices in art, technology & social change. 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: a new interface to exhibit digital art
It's happening already T.Whid,
We are doing that already, in our exhibition in London early next year
curated by the furtherfield upstarts - 3 different experiences regarding
net/web/new media. The only limit is academic & formalist
sensibilities...and we have consciously moved beyond that. Of course those
at the Tate and other insecure structures will not see it yet, but its there
it's there...and it is growing; good solid grass roots, art activism doing
the job that most insitutions should be doing anyway.
Also, a show in Zagreb this December - taking it out of the loop & sharing
with whoever wishes to be part of it.
Also, non nationalist event, beyond the restraints and trad-established net
heirachies...
While everyone is debating how intricate the that coding is and whether this
should be called code, there is actually stuff happening; but the single
minded followers of last years non compassion, will learn that 'net art is
not dead it just smells funny...'

Valentines Day
The image was of me as a robot pulling my heart out, offering her my heart
as an ultimate gesture of love.
She said it was sick and then threw it in the bin and never talked to me
again...
