A new media artist, researcher and currently lecturer in Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University, Cyberjaya, Malaysia. As a practicing artist, as much as he advocates the cohesion in between art and life, he works with new technologies to explore and investigate the human context of technology. Most of his works are not confined to any particular medium but often appears in the form of (interactive) installation fusing new media and a mixture of other materials. As computers are increasingly woven into the fabric of everyday life, he is most interested in a relational approach to creative technology, as in how technology can represent, produce or prompt inter-human relations. He justifies his approach as a reflexive action to extend our relations with things, instead of contemporary aesthetic. He is a member of Rumah Air Panas (RAP) arts society and he believes artist-run-space is an essential self-sustaining strategy for artists in modern age. He has involved himself in several outreach projects and he is also the director of the much acclaimed Let Arts Move You (LAMU) project took place on commuter train.
