    Ernest Edmonds was born in London and now lives and works in Sydney Australia. His art is in the constructivist tradition and he first used computers in his art practice in 1968. He showed an interactive work with Stroud Cornock in 1970 and first exhibited a generative time-based computer work in London in 1985. He has exhibited throughout the world, from Moscow to LA. His current work is developing from a concern with interaction to an exploration of generative art systems that evolve over long periods of time as they are influenced by the world around them. He also collaborates with Mark Fell on interactive audio/visual works and performances. They have recently performed in the USA, Australia and the UK. He is currently Professor of Computation and Creative Media at the University of Technology Sydney and is Editorin-Chief of the Leonardo Journal’s Transactions.
