  • Justin Wiggan People

    Justin Wiggan works with phonics, text, film, object changing and drawing to produce interface solutions to problems he has identified; his artefacts and documents respond to shouts, screams, shrieks, wails, hoots, howls, death rattles and sobs absorbed by unfinished urban structures. He reports responding and disappearing in the swollen bellies of cityscapes while discovering links between the internal tourist and the external explorer; he critiques modernisation and repetitive consumer aisles and argues that visual culture relegates sound to warning signals. He extracts sound from environments and re-presents it in other formats; website: http://www.justinwiggan.moonfruit.com/

  • Kit Galloway People

    Since meeting in 1975 Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz explored state-of-the-art multimedia communications technologies including satellites, video, computer networks and other telecollaborative media; over the last 20 years they created models giving diverse local, national and international arts communities access to complex telecommunications tools, systems and environments. Their work traces aesthetic collaboration in virtual space from analog origins to worldwide digital connectivity, and they are internationally recognized for a distinguished body of work spanning sub-genres of telecollaboration and aesthetic inquiry; their credits include many early seminal projects in telecommunications art now considered classics, website http://www.ecafe.com
