Jason Nelson

Coming from Australia, but born in Oklahoma, Jason Nelson is a creator of curious and wondrous digital poems and fictions of odd lives, builder of confounding art games and all manner of curious digital creatures. He professes Net Art and Electronic Literature at Australia’s Griffith University in subtropical metropolis of Brisbane and exhibits widely in galleries and journals, with work featured around the globe at FILE, ACM, LEA, ISEA, SIGGRAPH, ELO and dozens of other acronyms. There are awards to list (Paris Biennale Media Poetry Prize), organizational boards he frequents (Australia Council Literature Board), and Fellowships he’s adventured into (Fulbright Fellowship at the University of Bergen), and numerous other accolades (Webby Award, Digital Writing Prize). But in the web based realm where his work resides, Jason is most proud of the millions of visitors his artwork/digital poetry portal http://www.secrettechnology.com attracts each year.
