This ebook tries to sum up my fascination with the partial disjuncture between the land and a floating vessel \u2013 both connected and disconnected at the same time, creating a one-step removed relationship with the city.

He is co-founder of a new London based agency, Difference Exchange <a href=\"http:\/\/www.differenceexchange.com\/\">www.differenceexchange.com<\/a> which seeks to use the notion of <em>difference<\/em> as a driver for collaborative, international projects linking contemporary art with academia and industry. <em>River to River<\/em> is an international, inter-disciplinary research project in partnership with TrAIN research centre examining cultural responses to climate change and the socio-political implications of globalisation as defined by rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Recent projects have involved experiential engagement with specific landscapes, seeking to unfold new understandings of the social and political meaning of landscape resulting from human intervention. In partnership with artists and curators, these projects have evolved a hybrid practice, blurring the boundaries between artistic production, curation and event management in which the audience is seen as an essential element of a new work.
