Hello Net2 Folks -
I'm looking forward to the conference - and to Wine Camp
beforehand. I'll be participating as a volunteer blogger.

I'm a director, producer and playwright who's worked in the U.S., Great Britain
and South Africa. My creative practice focuses on visual and physical
performance, community-building, interactivity and cultural exchange.

For the past 3 years my company, Walk &
Squawk Performance Project, has been working on the Walking
Project, an exploration of desire lines made by
people who walk across fields in South Africa and across vacant lots in Detroit
and what connects them.

I'm interested in the intersection of emerging
technologies, mapping, local and distributed collaboration, and participatory
media.

My next project is A History of Eating, an interdisciplinary art-making and
eating experience that looks at the history of the world as a history of food
and explores the pleasures, perils, politics and cultural premises embedded in
the ways food is grown, distributed, prepared and eaten.

I have an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia and spent a year at NYU's Interactive
Telecommunications Program. Later this year I'm planning to launch blockwork, a consultancy and project
development venture that brings my experience as an artist, producer,
facilitator, fundraiser and strategic planner together with my work on emerging
technologies.
