Jamie King is an enthusiastic activist, filmmaker, writer and practical theorist in the area of new media, post-IP culture and social organisation. He is a former editor of Mute Magazine (www.metamute.org) and travels the world explaining how network technologies indicate new approaches to sharing, exchange and co-operation.
