Speaking at the Seoul International Computer Music Festival

I'll be in Seoul from 20 to 24 October to present the Xth Sense and the

engagement with the SICMF/KEAMS is endorsed by Creative Scotland.

Interview: The Biological Canvas

VASA Online Gallery recently inaugurated The Biological Canvas, an 
exhibition of "a group of hand-selected artists who articulate their 
concepts with the body as the primary vessel." My piece "Music for Flesh 
II" was selected along with works by Stelarc, Natasha Vita-More among 
the others. Jace Lumley conducted a related, brief interview with me 
about technology, body and mediation.
