This page is arranged by Andrew Gryf Paterson, a Scottish artist-organiser, cultural producer and researcher based in Helsinki, Finland.

The processes and projects linked here involve variable roles of initiator, facilitator, participant, author and producer, according to different contexts, collaborative and/or cross-disciplinary processes. They cross the fields of media/ network/ environmental arts and activism, pursuing a participatory practice via workshops, performative events, and storytelling.

Creative strengths lie in hybridity, communications, organisation and network arts: the ability to bring together and involve people in creative exploration, develop temporary communities, gather unexpected elements and components, creating poetic connections and new sites for cultural activity.
