Fee Plumley had no choice but to work in the creative industries from
the moment her mother (an illustrator) advised her not to. Things
started reasonably enough in the UK Theatre circuit as a Stage
Manager/Prop Maker, but on graduating from a BA in Theatre Design &
Technology (1995) she realised all the fun stuff was happening
somewhere else. An MA in Interactive Multimedia Production (1997)
kick-started a transition into media arts which, rather than leaving
any one artform behind, actually attempted to incorporate as many as
possible.

Fee has since combined her love for performance and media arts,
producing innovative interactive events for clients including Douglas
Rushkoff (Ecstasy Club, Manchester 1997) and the Manchester Literature
Festival (The Burgess Project, Manchester 2006). Described as a
“Techno-Evangelist”, she has curated public screen content (GMI,
London, 1999), enabled community webcasting (Superchannel.org 1999-03)
and has been a speaker and a juror at several international arts
gatherings (ISEA, Banff New Media Institute, AIMIA & BAFTA) and
educational establishments. Best known for encouraging people to be
creative with their mobile phones through the-phone-book Limited
(2000-present), this year she extends the mobile/emerging legacy by
joining ANAT as portable platforms & emerging technologies Program
Manager.
