Fee Plumley
Fee Plumley had no choice but to work in the creative industries from the moment her mother (an illustrator) advised her not to. Things started reasonably enough in the UK Theatre circuit as a Stage Manager/Prop Maker, but on graduating from a BA in Theatre Design & Technology (1995) she became curious about this new fangled thing called 'the internet'. An MA in Interactive Multimedia Production (1997) kick-started a transition into media arts which, rather than leaving any one artform behind, actually attempted to incorporate as many as possible.
Fee has since combined her love for performance and media arts, producing innovative interactive events for clients including Douglas Rushkoff (Ecstasy Club, Manchester 1997) and the Manchester Literature Festival (The Burgess Project, Manchester 2006). Described as a "Techno-Evangelist", she has curated public screen content (GMI, London, 1999 & BBC Bigger Picture, 2004), enabled community webcasting (Superchannel.org 1999-03) and has been a speaker and a juror at several international arts gatherings (ISEA, Banff New Media Institute, AIMIA & BAFTA) and educational establishments.
Best known for encouraging people to be creative with their mobile phones
through the-phone-book Limited (UK), Fee continues to techno-evangelise as
the new Digital Program Officer at the Australia Council for the Arts.
