Cheers for all the feedback! Very interesting. I like the 'everyone is an artist, everyone else is a cunt!' I don't think this is quite the place for a full explanation of my work, I'd rather write it in a wiki so you can delete it and write 'toga toga toga toga' instead!
I will say a bit more though for the one person who was interested! The wiki idea stems from my frustration with my own art. My paintings were always really symbolic, I would write essay after essay and even novels about them, but I never managed to convey anything like the depth with the final image.
I started making computer games and animations, 3D environments with my paintings as textures covering the space. I would get people to interact with them in new story telling environments, hoping that they would be more inclined to learn what they were about.
In galleries though nobody took the time to play the game either, So I kept making the paintings I wanted to but stuck a wiki address into the paintings in desperation really. It has lead to some interesting work though and I like the 'wiki artist' title, ‘transparent’ yes but still cool sounding. As proved by the release of a computer game character with the name Wiki which I saw today! (If that doesn’t in fact prove the opposite!)
If anyone can help me in London it would be great.
Thanks.
