That experience consolidated my thinking and my practice, gave me the space and time and reason to interrogate in a research/writing oriented way and to do it with a writer as special as Josephine Wilson.ĭK I suppose (he says, settling into the couch, trying to appear relaxed), like most such problems, it began with my Mother. In 1997, an essay I wrote about online collaboration was published in leonardo and the IMA recommended me to ANAT for the *water residency. LC Hypertext contains everything that I have done before-broadcasting, writing, conversation, visual art, video, curating, graphic design-and poses a new question or possibility in terms of my practice/s and its multi/hyper/inter/media. I learnt about my original project and why I was doing it by embarking into this concertina-shaped space of hypertext. That encounter helped me to move along a whole range of concerns about form in a writing project I had been immersed in for 3 years…it liberated me off the A4 white page and into extensions: ways to look at and consider my set of interests and characters and stories in the ‘family saga’ I was writing. TW I came to hypertext with my work in an entirely opportunistic way when I was invited to apply for an ANAT (Australian Network Arts Technology) residency. Digital environments present possible spaces for this to play out.
