Dr. Adam Nash is widely recognised as one of the most innovative artists working in virtual environments, realtime 3D and mixed-reality technology. He is a digital virtual media artist, composer, programmer, performer and writer, working primarily in networked and real-time 3D spaces, exploring them as live audiovisual performance spaces, sites for data/motion capture and generative audiovisual environments.

He was the recipient of the inaugural Australia Council Second Life Artist in Residence grant.
