Thesis Title: The Promise of Internet Art: An Engagement with the Intersection of the Performative Force of the Law and Internet Art
About
In my work I engage with the way in which the increasing ubiquity of digital technologies adds a new twist to the relationship between law, the visualisation of data and art.
In very broad terms my approach is that data visualisation may be understood in terms of representing existing legal and business organisations. By contrast art may open a critical examination of the contingency of such structures and the way boundaries in society are constructed and enforced by law.
My research stems from a legal background and qualifications in art law and art history.
I qualified and practiced as a lawyer in New Zealand before moving to England, where I qualified as a solicitor. Most recently I worked for the Insolvency Service, where I worked as an investigator into insolvent companies.
I am currently working voluntarily as a member of the editorial board of CHArt (Computers and Art History)whilst I look for a permanent position.
