Neil Jenkins is an artist whose current practice is heavily engaged with electronic media, language, programming and networked communication. I am particularly interested in the use of networks (both real and virtual) toward creating hybrid interactive installation pieces. Born and raised in the UK, he is now living and working in Sydney, Australia.
Whilst developing an online studio of work at devoid, together with commercial projects and interactive design and programming for arts organisations, he works extensively with Furtherfield, an London/net based artists collective, using the internet and networked technology as a focal point for creative discourse, events and production. Projects including Visitors Studio and FurtherStudio (an online artists residency programming) and ‘Skin/Strip Online’ (a collaboration between Furtherfield and Completely Naked, commissioned by BBC Shooting Live Artists 2003).
Neil also teaches and held the position of Senior Lecturer in Interactive Media at Bath Spa University (Graphic & Screen Design) from 2000 to 2008.
