Since 2003 have written a number of papers about different aspects of the development of my work. Many of these concern the Marinetta Marinetta Ombro project, an attempt to create and analyse a virtual culture by creating a fictitious country and rendering a version of it online. Others concern aspects of living and working online, an interest that has developed into an analysis of the possibility of a lifelong dataspace that I have termed a memi.
What follows is a chronological list of those papers, and the conferences at which they were delivered.
I am still writing papers, and this list will therefore be regularly updated.
