More About the Author

I am a writer, curator, photographer and lecturer. I teach modern and contemporary art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art, and you can find a lot of my writings online at the Courtauld website, and quite a few of my photographs on Flickr. I am currently working on a book about war photography, particularly of the Iraq War, and I am taking photographs of suburbia, and the places where forest and houses meet.

In 2008, I curated the Brighton Photo Biennial, 'Memory of Fire: Images of War and the War of Images'. I am hoping to publish the retrospective catalogue of the Biennial soon; it contains some remarkable interviews with photojournalists, some insightful critical essays, and--of course--many amazing photographs.

This review is from: Internet Art: The Online Clash of Culture and Commerce (Paperback)

I found this book to focus less about the art on the internet and more of a critique of it. Though it cites examples, it rather addresses issues about the internets role in culture, its role in the public domain vs. privitization, philosophies of internet and interactivity. The book is quite interesting and brings up issues that should be activly looked at in todays commercial world. I recommend this to all artists who are active in working with multimedia or even those in advertising and marketing who would like to brush up on some marketing schemes and how the internet applys to todays commercial world.
