Rachel Baker, Network Artist, London UK
Between 1991 and 1996 I attended art colleges including
Exeter College Of Art and Design, Newport School of Art
and Design, and Goldsmiths College where I completed an
MA in Design Futures, studying internet + audio communications and pseudo-interactive marketing.
Since 1997 I've worked as an artist, web developer and in internet and internet radio. My art practice
explored techniques used in contemporary marketing to
gather, survey and distribute data, and my underlying
motives were about mobilising networked communities.
Radio combined with Internet (Net.radio) formed a key area of activity, and then mobile phone SMS interventions.
The last project of this nature explored train travelling
as a site for public and private distributed art practice.
I used to maintain Irational's project of conjoining
social art and networks with technological opportunity, but this has lapsed in recent years. Currently I am
administrating grants at the Arts Council of England as
Media Arts Officer for London, and then making music with
Antifamily (website hosted on irational),
one of a number of bands with the independent label Difficult Fun.
