He has worked within this position since completing his studies in Music, moving between a wide range of acts involving music, technology, design, arts and education.

Improvisation poses questions upon the production and dissemination of artistic work in terms of its material value, and traditional attributions of mastery. Karen Eliot is an improviser, musician, artist, and activist who works to resist standardised valuation of artistic practice. Her work cannot be characterised in distinct forms, but exists as a multitude of actions, challenging ownership, identity and representation.

anomolous faces will perform Karen Eliot, and others like Luther Blissett, Lieutenant Murnau and other to challenge preconceptions of mastery and value, and present alternatives that improvisation may afford. Join in distributed acts of improvisation, not adhering to any one style, medium or intended output.
