Between 1999 and 2005 I served on the board of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. I was appointed specifically because of my expertise in branding and advanced technologies.
Anthony Gormley's One and Other project, in which anyone living in Britain can apply to stand on the plinth in Trafalgar Square for an hour. I made the Flash game on the site that lets people upload a photo or a webcam image to see how they might look on the plinth. Hundreds of people have played with it. Another game will be added soon.
You can visit the official One and Other site, and play the plinth game, here.

What is worth photographing? A picnic, a fountain, a zoo, flying a model aircraft, caring for your baby, your sports team, a flower, falling over, a puppy, preparing lunch, going to a party, a walk in a forest, your car, your wedding, a day at the beach, an amazing building, a beautiful landscape, returning home from holiday?
Here's an interview I gave with Regine Debatty at We Make Money Not Art. If you don't already know her blog, I can't recommend it enough as a way to keep up with what's going on in media art. The interview is here.
Kaleidocam is an interactive, video-based, kaleidoscope. It was projected on the side of a gallery wall during an exhibition in San Diego in 2005, and was available for a while as a Windows XP screensaver.
Now you can try a smaller version on-line here if you have a webcam.
'mourning becomes the law' is an interactive media installation. It is a piece which is concerned with presence and absence.
The title is taken from the theorist Gillian Rose’s book about philosophy and representation.
In 2001 I worked with Mark Ball to produce Malcolm Sutherland's PWA = The Diary of Oscar Moore. Pip Torrens took the title role.
It was my involvement on this project that let Mark to ask me to join the board of Fierce Earth.
In particular, I developed the web strategy for the play. Maybe I invented blogging. It was certainly an early, perhaps the earliest example of it - even before the term was invented. Becuase the play was itself based on a diary, we created a website where people could create and publish their own diaries on-line, the site was pwaonline.co.uk.
In 2007 I gave a talk at Barcelona's CCCB as part of a series concerned with 'Research and innovation in the cultural sphere'. The talk ended up being fairly critical of certain types of interactive media and participative art practice, especially when issues of funding are taken into account. After the talk was given, we decided that 'The Price of Participation' worked as a good title.
‘Schizophrenia’ is a gallery installation that is visible to the visitor as a TV set that is not tuned to any particular channel so that it just shows white noise on the screen.
The installation is intended to reproduce the experience of schizophrenia as a boundary disorder, where it becomes unclear when or where words are coming from, and whether they are coming from the inside or the outside.
Psychosis comprises a screen, a video camera, a computer and a sound system. Using the camera, the computer views what is happening in the gallery and processes the video stream in real time in the manner of a ‘psychotic machine’. The resulting image is projected. The projection therefore displays a psychotic perception of what is taking place at that moment in the installation environment. The projection shows a video feed of the gallery space overlaid with military equipment that the computer has mistakenly ‘seen’ as a result of its psychosis.
