This year continues its dramatic moments with a trip to Montreal in just a week’s time. I’ll be presenting at the Histoire du Jeu symposium, led by the Université du Québec à Montréal. The title of the symposium is Beyond games: Tinkering and Creative Appropriation of Video Games – something too close to what I […]
This last month has been so busy, with two film festivals, and with starting a printmaking residency at Edinburgh Printmakers. My last post looked at Supernova in Denver. This one is about the Foresight FilmFestival, which was held at Urania Berlin at the end of September. The video art (machinima) they selected was Future City, […]
It was my 60th birthday as the plane approached Denver. Seeing the sun setting on the skyline of the Rockies is something I will always remember. But that wasn’t the only special thing. I was here for the Supernova Digital Animation Festival a couple of days later. And after the trials of this year, that […]
This has been an incredible year with some major successes, tempered with some severe set-backs. But what matters is that I’m still here, and the successes outweigh the losses!

I am one of the 15 Artists selected for the ‘prestigious’ 2019 Competition program, chosen from the many submissions collected through FilmFreeway. The competition is the cornerstone of the annual […]
It took a longer time than usual to think through this latest video, Art Tartaruga, for two reasons. One was a significant actual world injury which restricted my computer use for nearly three months. It is bliss now to get back to doing things both physically and creatively. The other was a more familiar one […]
Good news… my submission to Supernova Digital Animation Festival has been accepted! Very pleased, for several reasons this year. The video is Repeat Hikari, which also was shown as a part of an academic conference last year. I have previously written a blog post about Repeat Hikari, The Art of Looping and Repeating, and I […]
This the first video I have made for a while, following my enforced break from online activity. The choice took more time to make than surface appearances suggest. My worry was that it was too obvious. There are rumours that Chouchou will be closing soon, so I might just be indulging in personal nostalgia. I […]
