About

About

I’m an Australian/British computer researcher and experimental media artist. I have a broad range of interests in computational creativity, human-computer interaction, scientific visualization and inference, semiotics, literature and the visual arts. I’ve had a very non-linear career as an independent media artist, experimental film-maker, academic research scientist, university lecturer and occasional writer. Besides my independent work, I’m currently a University Associate with the Department of Physics, School of Natural Sciences, at the University of Tasmania.

The Far North and Far South of our planet fascinate me. And what lies deep inside it as well. Marvelous, mysterious places. There is so much to discover and understand.

This website is a compendium of my research interests, projects and adventures over the years. I hope it’s got something that interests you.
