I am the owner and editor of the Azimute website, an online website for publishing critical and theoretical texts concerned with the French post-modernists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and related aspects of their work.

I am currently involved in the poetry collective SpeedPoets which hold monthly poetry readings at The Alibi Room, New Farm.

Two of my texts are published in Paroxysm which is a compilation of, "extreme and unusual" works by 10 Australian Writers. The book includes two of my texts, the first is Eat the Word, which was inspired by the writings of Lewis Carroll and Franz Kafka. The second piece is, In Memoriam to Kathy Acker, A Deleuze and Guattarian Approach, which analyses the avant-garde writings of Kathy Acker in the context of the theories of the French Philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.

Two of my graphic artworks are published online in "The Book Of Noise" edited by Tim Gaze - pages 31 and 36. (4Mb)

The New City Project was a situationist inspired zine which published two of my fictional texts Pylon and Suspension in 2003. Very hard to find!

Up until 2007 I maintained a mini fan site for the Australian Industrial group SPK, this has now been incorporated into the more comprehensive site located at http://home.pi.be/~spk/

From 1999 to 2000 I was also involved in Les Mistons a Cine Club putting together screenings of art house and foreign cinema, including an online journal and film reviews. Les Mistons screened major retrospectives of the works of Jean Luc-Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni, Francois Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Eric Rohmer and Kubrick. The website is no longer available.
