An Australian digital artist/designer/programmer/animator

Multi-skilled across a number of disciplines and cultures: an experienced (and award-winning) digital artist, animator, computer programmer, researcher, lecturer, teacher and biological scientist.

Has been working with computers since 1979 and was amongst international pioneers in 3D computer animation, digital art and later, creative interactive multimedia.

Most recently lecturing in Digital Media at the Creative Arts program Melbourne University.

In 2008, selected for participation in eMobilArt, the European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists, a year long project tailored around the process of collaboratively creating and exhibiting interactive installation artworks. This involves participants working across disciplines (science, design, art, technology), cultures and locations (Europe, USA, Canada, South America, Australia).

Current work is Ephemeron, an interactive audiovisual sculpture, collaboratively-developed with artists in three other countries as part of eMobilArt.

Previous artworks investigate writing, Integrationist theory and human-computer interaction. Others include the internationally award-winning CD-ROM Postcard From Tunis, the interactive installation artwork Gold Leaf and a pioneering 3D computer animated film, Dream House.

Current research interests integrate embodied and tangible post-desktop human-computer interaction with specific activities, particularly those that are remedial (e.g. assisting with various learning/communication difficulties) and/or socially/environmentally useful.
