SOCIAL NETWORKS ARE LIKE THE EYE
For me, social networks are like the eye. They are incredibly complex and beautiful, and looking at them begs the question of why they exist, and why they come to pass. Do we need a kind of just-so story to explain them? Do they just happen to be there, for no particular reason? Or do they serve some purpose — some ontological and also pragmatic purpose?

Over recent years I have explored several areas of cutting-edge electronics research and interface development. The primary aim of this research work has been the creation of intellectual property relating to the design of electronic entertainment devices. Of particular technical significance are the pioneering research-based advances in the fields of multi-touch touchsceens, multi-object-tracking, kinetic surfaces, and RFID hardware.
A by-product of these activities has been the creation of a sizeable collection of innovative high-specification prototype systems, and what might be called ‘machine art’. The aim of this site is to exhibit part of this collection.
