Short bio:
I am a New Zealand born artist, inventor, teacher and occasional writer based in Madrid, Spain. I've presented my papers and projects at many museums, international electronic-art events and conferences, including the Tate Modern, Transmediale, Ars Electronica and the Japan Media Arts Festival. My work has received several awards, ranging across technical excellence, artistic invention and interaction design.

I've given numerous workshops and master classes in game-design, artistic game-development, object-oriented programming for artists, UNIX/Linux, virtual architecture, interface design, augmented reality and open source development practices worldwide. I'm a long-time advocate of the use of free software in artistic production, distribution and education.
In 1998 I established the artistic game-development collective, Select Parks.
