KATE RICH
kate at irational.org
Kate Rich is a trade artist and feral economist.
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 has worked as bar manager, usher, director and finance team
member at Bristol's all-volunteer run Cube Microplex, as system
administrator for the Irational.org art-server collective, satellite
agent 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
recently established the curriculum for the Feral MBA, a radically
different kind of training course in business for artists and others.
