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 href="http://walksquawk.blogs.com/about_the_walking_project/">Walking
Project, an exploration of href="http://www.wordspy.com/words/desireline.asp">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 href="http://www.blockwork.org">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.
