halflight

Halflight is the website of artist & writer Jess Kilby, aka ninjypsy.

My work is primarily concerned with meaning and identity, and how we as humans construct it – for ourselves, and with each other. Personal mythologies, communal narratives, ritual, symbol, code. Why do we look up at the stars and see constellations?

I have a background in journalism and an MA in Creative Technology. During the nascent days of Web 2.0 I wrote a column about emerging technologies, and was one of the first writers in the mainstream press to cover Alternate Reality Games, VoIP, podcasting, broadcatching, Gmail and Firefox, portends of YouTube and hactivism. I continued to write about art, technology and participation at my previous blog, beach birds with cameras.

I work online and offline, using performance, technology, interaction and artifacts to create experiences that aim to inspire unexpected discoveries – both yours and mine. Thanks for visiting.
