Some of my ideas have been published in academic papers, dissertations and journal articles, some just on my websites.

PhD THESIS

Participatory Art and Computers: Identifying analysing and composing the characteristics of works of participatory art that use computer technology, PhD Thesis, Loughborough University of Technology, UK, 1992

This is a link to a 10.4 Mb .pdf version of my thesis. In the original 1991 edition, submitted for my PhD examination, the diagrams were on facing pages. In this version they are included in the text, which has led to a change in page numbering.

When submitted, the thesis had an accompanying video appendix which has now been converted to a number of clips available at http://vimeo/stephenbell

The original 1991 version can be found on the Loughborough University here: https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/7207
