How to have ideas, how to make them happen and some ideas I think are interesting

In this masterclass I’ll offer up my learnings of over 25 years of making design and art with technology – how to have ideas, how to make them happen and some ideas that I think are interesting.

I am a consultant, lecturer and artist. I love curating context and designing constraints for projects. I enjoy being a catalyst for learning for both students and clients, helping them to build capacity and enabling them to pass on their knowledge to others. I particularly love thinking about new uses of technology as part of a group and then helping to make those uses happen.

In learning I’m interested in connectivism, threshold concepts, open source and being anti-obfuscatory, or against the obscuring of communication. Ever since I saw the Wizard of Oz I’ve been interested in the mechanisms or systems that enable stories to be told or society to function. I am interested in making work that allows for real-time interaction between people, places, stories and objects through the use of technology.

I am currently researching solar-powered computing, the history of weaving and global scale augmented reality sculpture.
