If you want something, in life, it’s not enough to simply go for it – first you have to have a picture of it. I read something once about hunger striking prisoners gradually, barely consciously, papering their walls in pictures…

I have some exciting news. I’ve just started a residency at Lighthouse Arts in Brighton to develop Hack Circus. Partly inspired by Happenstance – a project you may remember I took part in back in 2012, the new Lighthouse ‘Studio’ programme…

Nothing means what it used to anymore. A few years ago, when I was working a brief, ill-fated stint at a digital agency, a colleague of mine gave a brilliant talk to the team – easily a highlight of my time there.…
