Alex learned computer programming in 1982 on an Apple II+. Since
then he has pursued careers in both the humanities and computing
sciences. Alex received a BA in Modern Culture & Media from
Brown University (1996), and a PhD in the Literature Program at
Duke University (2001). He has spoken widely on art and culture
both in the US and across Europe.
Alex has worked on several Internet art projects including Every
Image and StarryNight, and did the back-end programming on the
Rhizome Generative Logo. As a founding member of the Radical Software
Group, he has made work for the GameBoy and the Commodore 64.
Currently he is working on a web-based installation called Carnivore—after
the FBI software of the same name—that uses packet-sniffing
technologies to create vivid depictions of raw data.
