Christopher Fulham

Christopher Fulham is an Australian artist working in the mixed media realm –incorporating photography, video, new media technologies and sculptural installations. With twenty years demonstrated experience in the arts and the higher education sector, notably ten as an arts lecturer with the Australian National University (ANU), my passion and drive for both my art practice, and for engaging students to achieve academic success in the arts is evident.

I have won multiple public art commissions, including a 100K video art commission to fly drones in Australia's Pilbara region, two major video art commissions (ARC Cinema and Experimenta Media Arts), and a photographic commission for Calvary Hospital. My video artwork and photographs have been exhibited internationally and I've been featured in numerous art prizes and awards.

I was tenured at the Australian National University as a media arts lecturer for a decade. I've also after taught extensively in digital media arts for colleges and universities across Australia.

I have a diploma in audio engineering, and both a commercial pilot and drone pilot licenses (7-20kg drones / CASA). I have flown drones commercially all over Australia.

I wrote a detailed timeline to join my dots looking backward. And if you are curious, this is what I'm doing now.
