Am back, I was on the road.
wow...obviously there are lots of definitions!

jh: Labelling affected me badly throughout my life as an artist and human.
I have been and am still trying to see how to defragment to reunite
again...the politic of being!

For people who ask to introduce myself, I am an artist who has been
experimenting from the early eighties
exploring the integration and interaction of body and moving image through
performance, screen, installation and online work.
I have been researching networked performance and as a result created
Waterwheel, a platform about water (as topic and metaphor).
You are welcome to use the tools - amongst which the TAP which is a
videoconferencing and media mixing system for up to 6 webcams...
By the way, Venzha and some people at HONF have been involved in testing
the software last year.

Best wishes for people at ISEA :-)
