Multiple cameras accessed randomly in real time to make an urban tapestry. An evolving, generating artwork. The images are from taken London and they happen as you see them in real time. Installation versions of this work can be presented in art galleries using projectors or plasma display. First made in 2002. Recently re tested and some bugs ironed out for 2005. This now runs these twelve real time perpectives of the emergent city experience. This \'film\' is constantly evolving and will never be the same again, as each screen is a live real time image from a camera in the city of London.

Genomixer
A series of online artworks inspired by the human genome sequence and developed from dna profile which are sequenced from my blood. The online artworks are investigations into genetic codes mapped and re assembled online. The series enables a cross reference all the code on the genome sequence allowing you to intermix or breed your own variable; you can look at the new mix of chromosomes in real time; on line. You can also keep and print this pattern from the website. Works are enabled by dna code extracted from my blood. The sounds and images of code make audio visual self portrait versions. The next system will allow imput from dna user worldwide. The shop offers the facility to have bed-spreads and curtains made in your very own post genetic mix.....mutant. You can also purchase other dna related artworks and artefacts. To make these works my dna was sampled to make metaphases, g-banding and full profiles of chromosomes. Samples of my dna currently resides in my freezer ready for cloning.

The centralcity
series if online investigations into urban identities....hundereds of movies and interactive labyrinth. The form and content of this work is a visual world of the city and its structure. Networks of information technology are contrasted with organic networks and city networks. The city becomes an organic network of grids and diagrams. Started in 1997 last version 2004.....this is the last and final version of this project.
