# Name and contact information: (6D)˙

# Interests related to the Digital Art Ontology: (6F)
* As a practicing artist and media researcher I am very interested in
formulation of the "new fields", expanding of intersection in-between
different communities (artists/hackers/activists/academics)... (6G)
* I am also curious what is the level of complexity one can sustain
whithout loosing an overview of this constantly moving field of creative
digital practices (would not call all of tham art) (6H) (02)
# Anything else you want to say: (6I)
* I am a big fan of Wikis and trying to promote their use against
complex/polished database-driven websites which often move authors away
from content (content and form often go different ways, so in this way I
am kind of a web "traditionalist") (03)
