"What do you do?"
"Euh... I live, I read, I write..."

"I write about, well, art and new media and technology and how technology and culture are affecting each other – that's an interest that runs through everything I do."

Allright, some more info then.

I work for the V2_Archive.

I teach at Interactive Media & Environments of the FMI in Groningen.

I'm co-organizing the Sonic Acts Festival – and co-edited 3 Sonic Acts publications: Unsorted, Thoughts on the Information Arts (2004), The Anthology of Computer Art (2006) and The Cinematic Experience (2008): www.sonicacts.com

I have a blog at ariealt.net. From that you'll also learn that I love to cycle (on a racing bike).

A sort of archive of my published writing, for amongst other Mediamatic, Metropolis M and De Gids can be found at www.xs4all.nl/~ariealt (in need of updating. It runs till 2005.

I studied Literary Theory at the University of Amsterdam and spent 4 years there as a PhD-student, working on American postmodernist literature. I never finished my PhD because at the time (1994) WWW and HTML were far more exciting, and I became involved with new media and the internet.

I work/worked for Mediamatic for a long time — still feel a strong connection to them.

In 2006 I was a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academy, where my research on the transformation of writing amongst serious bloggers was part of Ubiscribe-research: www.ubiscribe.net.

I live in Amsterdam, I play guitar in Oorbeek, www.oorbeek.net.

I am on the board of DNK-Amsterdam, the weekly concert series on monday night, now at the Smart Project Space: www.dnk-amsterdam.com
