THE DIGITAL DYNAMO

I walked into the room to hear the pitch. I wasn’t expecting much. I had come to be polite, really. A tall female dynamo was surrounded by cables and USB connectors, totally unfazed by the rigmarole of making her computer talk to our government-issue system. She got it running and I was spellbound. Michela Ledwidge: film-maker, musician, Veejay/Deejay, systems architect, writer. She was the leading edge of the digital wing of the future. I got her funding for digital jam session at the ‘Remix My Lit’ project at the Melbourne Writers Festival. I introduced her to The Picture Tank crew and we all got moving on Terri & Azim. When I needed advice on making this site I turned to her.
