offer

i’m still wondering what kind of skills i bring to the group. i’m very much a jack of all trades… i can do a tiny bit of loads of things, but feel like i’m not an “expert” in any one thing in particular.

but i think i’m realising that i am developing skills in being able to translate requirements between “tech” people and “non-tech” people. partly this is from working as a business analyst at the national library of australia, and partly this is through my own desire to be able to communicate with a whole range of people from different backgrounds and walks of life – *and then* being able to make things happen: build communities, get projects off the ground, start other people off with new networks. these feel like incredibly intangible skills that sometimes aren’t acknowledged – and its only very recently (in the last few months) that i’ve begun to acknowledge them myself.

so what i’m offering is:

* ability to conceptualise and model systems

* requirements scoping and writing

* digital archiving (in its many and varied forms)

*  max msp patching

* networks + contacts  – from the archiving to the art world – okay we can all offer this… but really this is what i’ve been building for the last 14 months while i haven’t had a “real” job

* sound + composition plus gestural  control work in this area

* random computery IT skills

plus the desire to be involved in projects that you’re already working on or want to start up….
