KATE RICH
kate at irational.org
Kate Rich is a trade artist and feral economist, born in Australia and
living in Bristol UK. She is co-founder of the Bureau of Inverse
Technology (BIT), an international agency producing an array of critical
information products including economic and ecologic indices, event-
triggered webcam networks and animal operated emergency broadcast devices.
Since 2003 she has run Feral Trade, a long-range economic experiment and
underground freight network, utilising the spare carrying capacity of the
art world for the transportation of groceries. Kate is volunteer finance
manager at Bristol's artist-run Cube Microplex, system administrator
for the Irational.org art-server collective, satellite member of the FoAM
network of transdisciplinary labs and land-based member of the Sail Cargo
Alliance. Her ongoing preoccupation is to move deeper into the infrastructure
of trade, administration, organisation and economy, in and beyond the cultural
realm. She is currently establishing the curriculum for the Feral MBA, a radically
different kind of training course in business for artists and others.
