| That's
me in the center there rapping into the microphone. I don't often
do that, but sometimes the call comes in, and you have to answer
it. <•>
My background is in the theater, in music and in circus. I was
seduced fairly early on however, along with many others, by the
promise of interactive media and user-generated content. My first
website, Telecircus.com
launched in 1994, and provided the first official websites for
Burning Man, the Residents & ten other San Francisco-based
arts groups. <•>
I have over the years worked as a user experience designer and
consultant for several large corps and orgs, including Ameritech,
Apple Computer, Electric Minds, Ariba, the U.N.'s World Heritage
Organization, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the California
Endowment, TechTV & The Disney Corporation. <•>
I have spoken and given presentations at SIGCHI, M.I.T., DARPA
and various art and tech conferences. <•>
For 10 years (1997-2007), I was an associate with the Institute
for the Future, where I produced numerous conferences, and
directed scores of presenters across the U.S. and in Asia. <•>
I continue to produce monthly public events called Anon
Salon as well as a large-scale New Years Eve spectacle called
Sea of Dreams. |
