My practice is being shown in the Web Retro at the Seoul Museum of Art, Korea from the 12 March – 9 June 2019. The exhibition, both at the gallery and online, is to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web. My work is listed here.

Best of Luck with the Wall (Variant) by Frédérique Santune and myself is being exhibited at Madatac X in Madrid, Spain from the 13-24/02/2019 as part of the installation selection at the NAVE Digital. If you are in Madrid do pop along to see our work.

On Friday 15 February 2019 at 8:00pm the exhibition Self as Actor: Colonising identity is opening at the NeMe Arts Centre in Limassol, Cyprus.

“Are you interested in how your use of social media is shaping you or how your online personal identity is data mined by corporations for their own commercial and political profit? These and many other concerns regarding social media are addressed by Self as Actor: Colonising identity, curated by Helene Black and Aysu Arsoy.”

I’ll be giving a short talk and there will be a performance by Maria Alexandrou with Androula Kafa and Melissa Zanga.

In February I’ll be artist in residence at NeMe in Cyprus. Really looking forward to it, lots of things in the process of being organised and several new works in the planning stages. More to follow as I have details…

Exploring the networked image in ‘post’ art practices, an article that emerged from a conference paper in 2017, has just been published in issue 8.2 of Virtual Creativity.

Abstract: This article presents and discusses a series of four networked artworks undertaken since 2013. The artworks are performative, created within the web over a duration of time, are visible to an audience throughout their creation and as such can be considered as durational networked performances. Different in subject matter they overlap considerably in the themes, form and methods employed and constitute a body of research that explores the networked image in relation to a number of ‘post’ art practices. Specifically, this includes the questioning of media and form through postmedia, post-photographic, post-digital, post-Internet and post-screen practices in addition to addressing the manner in which the artist creates through postdisciplinary and postproduction methods.

Wasting Time on the Internet and Best of Luck with the Wall (variant) are being exhibited at the Art & Technology Conference at Sogang University, Seoul in South Korea from the 05/12 to the 09/12. Drop by and see the works if you can.

#cyborgs, an online show by Peripheral Forms is now live. It features some of my work alongside a very interesting selection of works curated by Jah Justice.

#cyborgs brings together work from across disciplinary divides for a multiplatformed art experience focused on Donna Haraway’s concept of the cyborg as a queer political body. #cyborgs connects photography, digital images, video, score based performance, digital avatars, social media residencies, and potent fusions of them all.

Delighted to announce that Best of Luck with the Wall (variant) by Frédérique Santune and myself has been selected for the 31st European Media Art Festival (EMAF) in Osnabrück, Germany. The work will be played continuously from the 18/04 – 21/05/2018 – that’s all 34 hours over 34 days to be played a maximum of 24 times!
