DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE Over the past 15 years I have been exploring and experimenting with computers and architecture. My main line of interest is non linear and naturally generated morphological organic forms via code or systematic morphogenetic topological process. These concepts have been applied to many projects from Apple computer expo to display spaces.

MEDIA ARCHITECTURE HYPERSURFACE Using computers and media to expand the architectural and media envelope I have spent 5 or 6 years developing game engines and generative algorithms for reflexive architecture controlled by sensors or mobile phones. Responsive interactive surfaces are notoriously expensive. In using the readily available sophistication of a game engine I have tried the economic and more viable approach.

FILM TELEVISION AND THEATER My primary work in the UK was as a production designer. As such I was involved with many production companies ranging from the BBC to oxford scientific films. Projects in CF, film or TV , work also included DOP, lighting and SFX as well as standard concept and production design.

PHYSICAL COMPUTING AND INTERACTION Working outside the confines of the screen has been a theme within my interaction units and research. Physical computing the I do has its roots in analogue interaction design that I did originally for theater productions. The primary goal of my interaction work is to play with technology and concepts by assembling disparate disciplines and concepts to creatively approach human interaction from a different view point.

PHOTOGRAPHIC AND COMPOSITING Using photography as a design medium. Most of the photographic work that I do is not done with conventional cameras. Often I modify other technology to achieve photographic and film effects.

GENERATIVE DRAWING Using code and computers as a drawing tool. The non repeating generative approach has been a theme in my media work.
