Julian Oliver

I am a New Zealander based in Berlin. I've been active in the critical intersection of art and technology since 1998. My projects and the occassional paper have been presented at many museums, international electronic-art events and conferences, including the Tate Modern, Transmediale, Ars Electronica and the Japan Media Arts Festival. My work has received several awards, ranging across technical excellence, artistic invention and interaction design.

I've given numerous workshops and master classes in software art, augmented reality, creative hacking, data forensics, object-oriented programming for artists, virtual architecture, artistic game-development, information visualisation, UNIX/Linux and open source development practices worldwide. I'm a long-time advocate of the use of free software in artistic production, distribution and education.

In 1998 I established the artistic game-development collective Select Parks.
