[Bio c. 2011] My art works are active social processes, completed by the ongoing activity of many people, inventing space for many forms of participation. In particular these create working spaces for a series of contestations: legal versus illegal, autonomous versus mass culture, individual versus collective, which are worked through each project. They are about the making of new structures for human experience, not only about producing representation. My working philosophy has emerged more through practice, dialogue, and activism: working with horizontal social networking, disseminating the work through public workshops, ‘infonights’ at social centres, and self-made zines/publications.
