[edit] About Me

This editor is a Veteran Editor, and is entitled to display this Iron Editor Star.

I live in Toronto, although I was born in and grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, the featured article on February 29, 2008. I'm an artist and an instructor at two Universities in Toronto and have had a number of articles published on sound and media art. My main interests wiki-wise are media art (sound, video, electronic), Canadian art, contemporary art, art history from late-19th century to the 1970s (i.e. Modernism) and experimental film. I've been using the username Freshacconci for years and in other forums and for no other reason than my admiration for Sir Vito, plus I like the sound of it. I've been editing on wiki since October 2006 as Freshacconci (I apparently registered on July 22, 2006 but didn't edit while logged in until October for some reason). Before that I occasionally edited as an anonymous visitor: it seems my first actual edit was on January 1, 2006.
