Biog

Became glitch-aware late 1970s / early 1980s, starting with calculators, then electronic toys (Little Professor, Space Invaders), then early home computers (Sinclair ZX81, Dragon 32). This teenage endeavour culminated in scrolling visualisations of computer memory, circa 1984, from which the C60's of code were exhumed two decades later to produce the Chroma and Warp series. Restarted collecting and provoking glitches in 2001. From 2004, moved away from purely screen-based work towards photographic contact exposures of the screen. After publication of Glitch: Designing Imperfection, and a year of glitch-related burnout, recent work eschews digital processes, but continues to explore the glitch concept in a more psychological rather than technological sense.
