Andrew Murphie is a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Andrew has published on a range of issues: philosophies of technics and of the virtual, the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, digital media and aesthetics, electronic music, performance and the visual arts, the culture and politics of theories of cognition. He has in the past worked as a marketing manager and production manager for arts companies, teaching drama in schools in outback Queensland, and as a freelance theatre director (which has included work on productions of Samuel Beckett's shorter plays and Heiner Muller's Hamlet-Machine).

His current research interests are: philosophy and technics; what comes after post-structuralism; new mixed ecologies (media, cognitive, perceptual and environmental, of the social and self, as these form new networks); the potential and politics of networks; the shift in aesthetics brought about by the digital.
