The Evolution of the Internet: From Peer-to-Peer to Community Technology

Benjamin Earl is a Designer and Artistic Technologist with an interest in the digitisation of everyday life, the rendering and simulation of physical environments, and digital communication and knowledge sharing practices. In his work he uses moving image and computer programming to create films, websites, installations and performances that reveal entangled narratives and complex power structures. 

His work involves looking closely at the material and tangible ruptures of digital culture whilst simultaneously trying to imagine new ways of computing that can be contextual, situated and relational. His work has been exhibited at Het Nieuwe Insituut (Rotterdam), Impakt Festival (Utrecht), Bureau Europa (Maastricht), Fibre Festival (Amsterdam) and CIVA Festival (Vienna) amongst others. He has a BA in Graphic Design from Falmouth University, UK and an MA in Non Linear Narrative from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
