Biography

Christopher Fulham

Artist

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.

Teaching

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.

Education

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.

Timeline

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

I make work, build systems and write about what I am learning.

My practice moves between artificial intelligence, visual art, teaching and research. I am interested in observation, distillation and how difficult ideas become useful.
