Part of an emerging trend of CGI mashup – as computer graphics become good enough that home users can do incredible things, genres become squished together. Click through for the artists blog or videos.

I wrote this application for the Platform ’09 live art event back before I knew I was ill, but I was definitely suffering from all of the symptoms that would later see me hospitalised. I checked with a few people I knew, and found out that at least two of the people on the Platform [...]

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be undertaking a residency at 25 Stratford grove this August, where I’ll be working with juggling. We had a brief run-through and experimentation with what you can do with juggling balls and a room full of artists on Sunday, when Carole Luby hosted an artists crit group. We spent some [...]

I just realised that I’ve been living with new media technologies as the locum of “what I’m doing in the art world” for the past seven years. And that I’m totally sick of them. So I deleted 97 feeds from my RSS reader. What I’m bored of is people who don’t understand the difference between [...]

I think that nothing beats the written word for communication of information, but I’m consistently finding that complex software is being explained by the use of an instructional video. And usually, that video [...]

Bin Badder is a Mac-only piece of art software that I wrote for the online magazine Unlikely 2.0, sometime in the past half-decade. I found it recently when vanity Googling myself, and decided to update the software a little bit and put a copy of it on my site. (A brief discourse into vanity Googling [...]
