Between 1999 and 2005 I served on the board of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. I was appointed specifically because of my expertise in branding and advanced technologies.

Anthony Gormley's One and Other project, in which anyone living in Britain can apply to stand on the plinth in Trafalgar Square for an hour. I made the Flash game on the site that lets people upload a photo or a webcam image to see how they might look on the plinth. Hundreds of people have played with it. Another game will be added soon.

You can visit the official One and Other site, and play the plinth game, here.

I have just discovered the work of Claire Morgan, although I realise now that I have seen some of her works - the arrow, and her installations at Selfridges without knowing her name. Her work is exquisitely beautiful.

Mathieu Briand: Marseilles-based artist Mathieu Briand works in various installation forms with computers, electronic music, robots and video technology to explore systems of stimulation, play and perception. His use of new technologies requires active participation and engagement, playing with the viewer’s point of view and questioning the reality of his/her perceptions.

In 2001 I worked with Mark Ball to produce Malcolm Sutherland's PWA = The Diary of Oscar Moore. Pip Torrens took the title role.

It was my involvement on this project that let Mark to ask me to join the board of Fierce Earth.

In particular, I developed the web strategy for the play. Maybe I invented blogging. It was certainly an early, perhaps the earliest example of it - even before the term was invented. Becuase the play was itself based on a diary, we created a website where people could create and publish their own diaries on-line, the site was pwaonline.co.uk.
