Bliargh can't remember how far back his virtual world honeymoon stretches... but it's been a ride. Galavanting from 'vere to 'verse, from early MUD days to M59 & Ultima Online and onward, his world view has been heavily impacted by virtual experiences. He was regularly exposed to (and often in bloody conflict with) perspectives and concepts well beyond local meatspace offerings. Borderless environments shaped him, and it has become a focus for him to help shape them. Matt graduated Trinity University with a BA in Communications & New Media, minor in wasting time within simulacra. He's currently pursuing his MFA in New Media with the motley cabal of acolytes that is Austria's Transart Institute (Donau Universität Krems). He's absorbed as an internationally exhibiting bricolagist, globetrotter, gamer, DJ, writer, and robotico lunatico. He is a cofounder and creative director of Metaversatility, Inc., a leading virtual world development company that fosters community, entertainment, education and commerce in on-line spaces
