Writer's Week: Mayne Award for Writing in Multimedia
University of NSW, Art and Design, Sydney, Online Forum, Global
Being one of the first few Doctor of Philosophy students working between The College of Fine Arts and Sociology at UNSW, Sydney I did much more than was expected to cover all bases. My thesis is online, sadly my hand coded VRML Empyrean virtual reality world no longer functions but there is video documentataion. My -empyre- critcial art forum ran for an amazing 20 years under different editorial teams, exploring formats, forging relationshsips, spawning global meet ups and spanning many publications.

Adelaide Festival for the Arts, Writers Week Awards for Literature, National
I recieved this generous award for the poetic texts on virla life, species symbosis and networked immunity in my web site Carrier - becoming symborg.
Many auidence members at the 2000 Writers Week Awards ceremony had not seen the internet and there was no screen available to show the work. Other award winners read from their books while I attempted to conjure networked worlds with inadequate descriptions and grand arm gestures.
