Heath Bunting

Heath Bunting (1966, Wood Green, London) is an artist living in Bristol. Emerged from the 1980s committed to building open/democratic communication systems and social contexts. Came from the street up, passing through and often revisiting graphity, performance, intervention, pirate radio, fax/mail art and BBS systems to become an active participant in the explosion of the Internet. Between 1994 and 1997 produced many Internet projects, which can be accessed at the server Irational.org set-up by himself.
