Geoff Cox
Geoff Cox is an artist, teacher and projects organiser as well as currently Senior Lecturer in Computing at University of Plymouth, UK, where he is part of i-DAT (Institute of Digital Art & Technology). He has a research interest in '
software art' expressed in some critical writings and projects such as the co-curated touring exhibition 'Generator' in collaboration with Spacex Gallery (2002/03), and 'Vivaria.net' that asks the question 'why look at artificial animals?' (2003/04). He co-organised (with Joasia Krysa) two conferences: 'globalica: artistic and conceptual tensions in the new world disorder' as part of the WRO biennial, Poland, and 'artist as engineer', as part of an Arts Council of England initiative around socially-engaged arts practice, at i-DAT. These conferences have informed the production of two co-edited books 'Economising Culture' and 'Engineering Culture' as part of the DATA browser series
http://www.data-browser.net, published by Autonomedia (2004/05). He is also a trustee of Kahve-Society, on the council of management of Spacex, and (with Adrian Ward and Stuart Brisley) is a trustee of the
