Dear olga, bios below (you have Alex's already), cheers n
Adrian Ward is a software artist, programmer, systems administrator and
lecturer. Since 1999, his London-based company Signwave UK has worked for a
wide range of clients and customers, and has released a variety of software
products, some of which question just how far one can stretch the
definition of "commercial software". In between earning money and making
things he enjoys, he collaborates with a range of artists, musicians and
educators on diverse projects that also defy easy categorisation.
Dave Griffiths is a tinkerer, programmer and artist residing in London
where he writes free audio and visual software, and makes quite a lot of
music under the moniker nebogeo (www.pawfal.org). He earns his daily
crust writing visual effects software for film, and recently wrote half
of the crowd rendering system used on Wolfgang Petersen's "Troy".
Amy Alexander (VJ Übergeek) has worked in film, video, music and digital
media. She is currently Assistant Professor in Visual Arts at the
University of California, San Diego. She got her start in real-time video
in the early 1990s using analog video synthesizers from the 1970s. Since
1996 she has been working primarily in net art and software art. Her
recent work has been primarily in live visual performance and software art
(frequently at the same time). Her Internet projects include
plagiarist.org, deprogramming.us, theBot and the Multi-Cultural Recycler,
and, as VJ Übergeek, the live performance/VJ projects CyberSpaceLand,
b0timati0n and extreme whitespace. She's one of the developers of the
runme.org software art repository. Her work has been exhibited on the
Internet and various live venues. She is a recovering Unix systems
administrator.
Fredrik Olofsson (www.fredrikolofsson.com) is an in-demand installation
artist in Scandinavia. This demand was too much for him in fact, so he left
for Berlin, where he pursues interests in visual and audio art,
programming, secret intelligent agents, and cafes. Fredrik is the more
important and generally better turned out half of klipp av, an audiovisual
breakbeat cutting duo (www.klippav.org).
Nick Collins (www.sicklincoln.org) is a hard working music researcher with
a family of two computers to support. He plays piano between bouts of
indifference to the arbitrary traditions of music history and is
particularly fond of Bach and Nancarrow, so much so, that he likes to
listen to both at the same time. Nick is the more important and generally
better turned out half of klipp av, an audiovisual breakbeat cutting duo
(www.klippav.org).
Julian Rohrhuber is an active researcher and practitioner, with interests
spanning the fields of computer music, the fine art of conversation and
language, and film. Based in Hamburg at the Academy of Fine Arts (HfbK), he
has performed and presented through Europe and beyond. Collaborations with
Alberto de Campo and Bill Fontana in sound sonification and spatialisation
attest to his skills, as does the JITLib extension library to SuperCollider
(
http://swiki.hfbk-hamburg.de:8888/MusicTechnology/566), devised to support
explorations in live coding.
