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.

But the problem of storing the data about them is one of storing it in a useful manner – how can I create a relational database of my research? Thankfully, I have two database experts on hand.

I’m going to take a break from my review-writing and talk about some history.  About three years ago (2005), around this time of year (January), I had an interview for the UK’s highest educational establishment, the Royal College of Arts. Back then, I was really interested in making interactive art pieces. In some ways, I [...]
