Who am I?
I'm an open source media artist with experience in web development, interactive and reactive media, film making, print design and collaborative projects and workshops with young people.
This site will give you a glimpse at some of the work I've produced over my time spent as a media artist. Most of the work has been the result of collaborating with groups of enthusiastic and creative young people, carers, community members, group leaders, youth workers, teachers and fellow practitioners. My web development work (an integral element of any collaborative media project) has been served throughout these projects as a creative base and as a presentational tool for families, friends, practitioners and participants to continue the creative process outside of the project sessions and workshops.
It has been my work with young people that has enabled me to gain experience in the use of new technology and presentation platforms as a tool for creative expression. After almost a decade of working with Apple Macs, I turned to open source software for its creative and welcoming community, its ability to adapt to new technologies and online standards quickly and efficiently, and for its openness and freedoms that would allow for creative engagement at all funding levels.
On the pages displaying my open source work, there are links to the websites of the tools I use (the majority of which you can download, install and start using today) as well as a selection of files created as a result of the project. If you have requests for further information, or would just like to feedback on what you see on this site, please add a comment to the work page, or alternatively, click the Contact me link above to send a secure email.
Thanks for visiting.
