I am a consultant, course leader and artist.
As a consultant, I curate context and design constraints for projects.
- Curating context: I produce reference material, similar projects and other content that helps put a potential or current project into a wider context.
- Designing constraints: in order to help a project progress, I create limitations that allow a team to concentrate on a smaller set of challenges and move forward, learning from the process.
I love 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.
