I am a media theorist and perhaps an 'experimentalist' as I have neither the time nor the patience to establish myself as a media 'practitioner'...or what ever other term you want to use. I take joy in pushing media and technology to breaking point in the hope against hope that something new will offer me or some body else new ways of perceiving, thinking, becoming. I am writing a Ph.D on the recursive development of knowledge, technology, and for want of a better term 'the life of the mind'. I am particularly interested in forms of improvisation musical and otherwise but sound generally has always been an important aspect of both my theoretical and production practice. I have taught media and contemporary theory, media and cultural policy, and media production at the University of New South Wales. I am Tamlyn's Dad and Deb's eternally grateful partner.
