Our first Guest Blogger, nathaniel stern, is a New York artist currently
residing in Johannesburg, South Africa (if you're interested in the
South African art scene, his own blog is a must!). He will periodically
make posts on behalf of other South Africans interested in the
developing field of networked performance.

nathaniel is an internationally exhibited installation artist,
net.artist and performance poet. His collaborative physical theatre and
multimedia performance work has won three FNB Vita Awards - including
Best Presentation of a New Contemporary Work - and has been featured on
the main stage at the Grahamstown Festival (South Africa). His poetry
repertoire includes the US National Poetry Slam competition and the
HIV/AIDS Arts, Media & Film Festival (South Africa). His interactive
installations have also won awards in New York, and Australia, and his
net.art has been featured in festivals all over Europe, Asia and the US.

nathaniel received his BS in Textiles and Apparel Design from Cornell
University, and his Masters from Tisch School of the Arts, NYU, in
Interactive Telecommunications. He currently works both in and from
Johannesburg, as an adjunct (distance teaching) faculty member of the
Minneapolis College of Art & Design, external lecturer and supervisor at
the Wits School of Arts' Digital Arts MA, and freelance lecturer at
Newtown's Anti-Retroviral Theatre program and The South African School
Of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance.
