Projects

My role as web master for the Department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland has enabled me to draw on a wide range of "intelectual potential". There is considerable overlap between my work with Organic Design and my work at the University. Prior to taking the position in Computer Science, my partner Angela and I ran a graphic design business for a number of years. We continue to provide services to a small circle of clients, whilst pursuing our research in art and design.

Brief Biography

Since my first experience with computer technology at age 10, I have been interested in the potential for collaboration and expression in both the technical and artistic sense.

I first meet Aran at a computer club demo exhibition in the late 80's. We met again by chance in 2000 and began to exchange ideas about the future of information technology, culture and organisation.
