Nik Gaffney
Nik Gaffney is a founding member of FoAM, where he operates as a tangential generalist, designer, programmer and sous-chef. He prefers breadth-first-searches and bottom-up design; randomness as a strategy, and depth where required; dynamic to static; Lisp to C; realtime rather than recorded; and complexity over the complicated. He is also part of 'farmersmanual', a pan-european, net-based, multisensory disturbance conglomerate. {buzzing, clicking, destructuring and ecstactic flickering}. Partially Luminous.
