Jason is a researcher, critic and writer, currently completing a PhD on the aesthetics of video gaming at Griffith University. He has published and presented research on gaming, new media and other areas of contemporary cultural research in various local and international publications and conferences, and he recently co-edited (with jOhn pAce) the logo edition of the online journal of media and culture, M/C.

He teaches at Griffith University's School of Arts, Media and Culture, and at the Queensland University of Technology's Faculty of Creative Industries, mainly in new media and film studies. When he's not thinking about how others have made the digital beautiful, he's trying to do it himself with music, though he's still hopelessly mired in the FastTracker era.
