Hi, I'm Dr. Ben Swift—I'm a researcher, artist and creative technologist/software engineer. I lead the Cybernetic Studio at the ANU School of Cybernetics and I'm the creator of LLMs Unplugged. Sometimes I write about that stuff on my blog.

I care a lot about making computing a welcoming, interesting and creatively satisfying place, especially for people who don't fit the traditional picture of a "computer scientist".
