I'm a creative technologist from Melbourne working at the intersection of art and emerging technology.

I studied art but never settled on a single medium. I painted, then wanted the work in three dimensions and turned to sculpture; then wanted it to move and tried video, which put me back to two dimensions. Every medium expanded some possibilities while limiting others.

That all changed when I discovered code. Working at the edge of technology turned out to be fertile ground for art: new tools let you invent forms that didn't exist before.

Lately my attention is on AI. I think we're living through the most consequential period in human history. AI will be the most dangerous thing we ever build, with the greatest potential payoff.
