openFrameworks Workshop - YCAM, Japan
In September 2008 I travelled to the Yamaguchi Centre for Art and Media (YCAM), Japan to take part in the InterLab – openFrameworks workshop. The workshop was presented by Zach Lieberman and Theo Watson, who founded and maintain the openFrameworks project, bringing together open source c/c++ libraries for the specific purpose of creating new media art projects. My participation in the workshop, facilitated by the ANAT Professional Development Travel Grant, has greatly strengthened my skills as an artist and programmer.

Artbots Exhibition - Dublin, Ireland
ArtBots has been on my radar as the coolest place around to show your robotic art, since I started making bots in 2003, however it was not until after Oribotics [network] was completed that I considered my work suitable for submission to ArtBots 2008.

International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA) 08 - Singapore
ISEA2008’s conference program consisted of peer-reviewed individual papers, panel presentations, artist presentations and four keynote speakers. Sessions were organized around five key themes – Locating Media, Wiki Wiki, Ludic Interfaces, Reality Jam and Border Transmissions. Initially interested in the Reality Jam sessions with their focus on mixed and augmented reality, I instead found myself increasingly drawn to the Locating Media theme.
