We recently had the chance to talk with Sydney-based new media artist, John Tonkin, about his work Personal Eugenics.
After studying science at the University of Adelaide, Tonkin experimented with film before making his first computer animation in 1985. Tonkin develops his own software in programming languages such as C++ and Java.
His recent works involve building frameworks / tools / toys in which the artwork is formed through the accumulated interactions of its users. In 1999 Tonkin received a fellowship from the Australia Council's New Media Fund. He is currently working on Strange Weather: a grand unified theory, a visualization tool for making sense of life.
sorry. which john tonkins do you know? maybe we could shoot a documentary about them too.
