Ben Woodeson’s work is something I stumbled accross in 2003 when I saw his Portable Bug (above left). While not a new media artist in the strictest sense his use of simple unnecessarily complicated ideas concerning magnatism and electricity along with a few projects which touch on energy and the environment (that old idea that energy is always in constant change) make his work very contemporary and refreshingly focused as artistic research.

Currently developing work at the ICA in London entitled Big Bang as part of Private Staff Only.
