MAT WALL-SMITH is as local as a blow-in can be. He has lived with his little family and his big dog in Thirroul for a decade. He has spent most of his life teaching media and communications and media art at whichever university would take him (mostly at UOW). That said he doesn’t really believe in universities. For a while he designed and manufactured robots but discovered he was even less an entrepreneur than he was an academic. These days he spends a lot of time running vast distances through the bush between bouts of writing, coding and making computers do interesting things. He really likes writing but doesn’t like writing bios at all.
