Marius Watz makes drawing machines. He uses code to construct systems that generate art in screen-based and material forms – from live visuals for music, to 3D printed shapes.

In 2005 he started Generator.x as a curatorial platform for generative art and design which has since resulted in a conference, a blog, a travelling exhibition and concert tour. Watz practices out of New York City and Oslo, where he is a lecturer at the Oslo School of Architecture and the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

Keith Armstrong is an artist, researcher, writer and practitioner. In his research he explores what can come from the intersections between science, philosophy and media art. As a practitioner his focus on the collaborative and hybrid nature of new media has resulted in networked, interactive media artworks.

He is the founder of Transmute, the interdisciplinary collective behind Intimate Transactions, an interactive installation that has been exhibited all over the world, where two people in geographically separate spaces inhabit and interact in a shared virtual space.

The Infoscape Research Lab is not really an ‘institution’, but many dynamic media projects sit somewhere between institution, network and project. This one, headed up by Greg Elmer, shares many concerns with our dynamic media network and project. It hosts research projects that focus on the cultural impact of digital code with a special emphasis on web code in the service of contemporary politics.

Dynamic Media: Innovative Social and Artistic Development in New Media in Australia, Britain, Canada and Scandinavia since 1990 is an international, ARC funded project that provides information for Australians to more extensively implement dynamic media within a social context. Based at the Centre for Contemporary Arts and Politics at UNSW’s College of Fine Arts, the project is a collaboration between Anna Munster (CoFA/CCAP), Andrew Murphie (Media, Film & Theatre, UNSW), Brian Massumi (University of Montreal) and Adrian MacKenzie (Lancaster University).The project focuses on the international strategies for social use of dynamic media, and will form the basis of an online database that will profile and be accessible to Australian artists, arts organisations, new media researchers and social innovators. This study highlights the innovation of Australian artists and researchers in the development of dynamic media and positions these internationally.
