Paul Douglas Abbott

Artist / Creative Technologist
"A trickster's art involves playing with what I'm calling the second-order articulation; trickster shifts patterns in relation to one another, and by that redefines the patterns themselves." – Lewis Hyde.

I am an artist, hacker, writer of code and maker of things. I make use of technology in my artwork often with the strategy of producing "noise" to bring about newness. Code is fragile and exacting, it is not open to the serendipity of mistakes, therefore in my work I consciously try to include an element of disruption to react against the very static nature of the computer.
