I have worked for over twenty years on projects that overlap art, science and computing. I am interested in the creative use of computers and in the new 'complexity' sciences.

To me, these interests connect at the point of trying to understand how complex systems are organised, and how they can be represented and manipulated with algorithms. These algorithms are then used as expressive tools, or instruments, to generate, visualise and compose.

This site shows a selection of my academic, commercial and personal work.
