Half past murder time

Kjartan Abel became an artist at 30 by accident, with an umbrella and a creative lie about software. He has spent the years since working at the intersection of technology, art, and cultural heritage — building interactive museum installations, automating things that probably shouldn't be automated, and occasionally connecting hamsters to the internet. He holds an MFA from UCL Slade School of Fine Art and a BA from Kingston University, and currently works as a digital advisor at Østfoldmuseene in Norway. His blog covers music curation, creative technology, and the specific frustration of being too early to everything.
