Formerly a traditional studio artist about five years ago I moved my entire process online using existing social media as an online "studio" environment. My early university studies focused on multimedia presentation of scientific concepts (for computers) in an exciting time in which graphics were not yet common on computers and sites like Yahoo were appearing on the internet. My earliest involvement with "The Well" community in the late eighties involved me in the conceptual search for a tool that would help to bring universal literacy to the people of the world especially the children of the world.  Originally we called the concept te "dynabook"  and it was very much like the laptop of today. After involving myself in the large scale collaboration to bring the OLPC laptop to production and use I began to become very interested in the cellphone as a ubiquitous  computing device that could bring literacy to very young children. Currently I am preparing for re-entry at HSU  and grad school. I have several projects involving the group ensemble collaboration assembling of a shared digital history of my community of origin which created the original renaissance Pleasure Faires. My primary project of late as an open source artist is working out a paper on the linking of mobile education services and info hubs with water systems and extending existing medical and educational services.
