Born in Tasmania in 1963, Rodney Berry is currently a Visiting Researcher at ATR Media Information Science Laboratories where he has been since 1999. Before that, he was active as an artist and composer in Melbourne and in Sydney. His work has ranged from sculptural musical instruments and sound installations to computer-based interactive artworks. His interest in artificial life, technology and biology, virtual reality and augmented reality has placed him with one foot in the artistic community and the scientific community. His work has been featured in such international events as ISEA (in Sydney and Nagoya), SoundCulture (Tokyo, Sydney), Virtual Worlds (Paris), SIGGRAPH (New Orleans and San Diego).
