curator, educationalist and musician. In a constant state of being
renascent. He share's no allegiance to any one form of art or expression.

involves learning, questioning, progressive thought and putting
playful explorations into action'.
Emerging in the late 80's from the streets exploring creativity
via agit-art tactics, Marc declares his own and humanity's seemingly
perpetual dysfunction. Consciously using unofficial platforms such
as the streets, pirate radio, net broadcasts, BBS systems, performance,
intervention, events, pamphlets, warehouses and gallery spaces.
In the early nineties he was co-sysop with Heath Bunting for Cybercafe
BBS.

Catlow, of the net arts collective furtherfield.org & furthernoise.org.

internationally and locally. Has published many articles on the
net, in the press, as well as various agit-punk stories.
