Biography.
Heath Bunting emerged from the 80's committed
to building open/ democratic communication systems
and social contexts. He came from the street up,
passing through and often revisiting graphity,
performance, intervention, pirate radio, fax/ mail
art and BBS systems to become an active participant
in the explosion of the internet.
He has produced many internet projects, some highly
recognised and has helped form a strong context
for the practice of net.art. Recently, he has moved
into the field of genetics proclaiming it to be
the next "new media", and is also developing work
in the area of physical network performance.
