- The essay engages a novel approach towards aligning personal narrative and autobiography to detail the evolution of creative methodologies embracing political agency in experimental media arts practice. The essay contributes to understandings of the motivations and influences behind the creation of activist digital art. In addressing the individual artist’s experience of the larger social and political context, within which works are developed, the essay serves to contribute to the expository understanding of contemporary political art. The author was invited to create this piece for the inaugural issue of the Journal of Digital War – an emerging field whose importance is increasingly recognised and which have had a significant impact upon all aspects of contemporary politics, society and culture.
