Stephen Wilson is a San Francisco author, artist and professor who
explores the cultural implications of new technologies. His interactive
installations & performances have been shown internationally in galleries

mediated art works probe issues such as World Wide Web &
telecommunications; artificial intelligence and robotics; hypermedia and
the structure of information; GPS and the sense of place; synthetic voice;
and biological & environmental sensing. He won the Prize of Distinction in
Ars Electronica's international competitions for interactive art and
several honorary mentions. He is Head of the Conceptual/Information Arts
program at San Francisco State University. He was selected as artist in

investigate the relationship of new technologies to education.
He has published extensively including articles such as "Dark & Light
Visions", Artist as Researcher", "The Aesthetics and Practice of Designing
Interactive Events", "Interactive Art and Cultural Change", and "Noise on
the Line: Emerging Issues in Telecommunications Art". He has published
three books, Using Computers to Create Art (Prentice Hall, 1986),
Multimedia Design with HyperCard (Prentice Hall, 1991), and World Wide
Design Guide (Hayden, 1995), which promotes an experimental, culturally
aware approach to Web design. His new book called "Information
Arts:Intersections of Art, Science and Technology" to be published by MIT

advanced inquiries in fields such as biology, medicine, physics,
artificial life, telepresence, body sensors, vr, artificial intelligence,
