Heath Bunting (born 1966) is a British contemporary artist. Based in Bristol, he is a co-founder of the website irational.org,[1] and was one of the early practitioners in the 1990s of Net.art.[2] Bunting's work is based on creating open and democratic systems by modifying communications technologies and social systems.[3] His work often explores the porosity of borders, both in physical space and online.[4] In 1997, his online work Visitors Guide to London[5][6] was included in the 10th documenta[7] curated by Swiss curator Simon Lamunière.[8] An activist, he created a dummy site for the European Lab for Network Collision (CERN).[9]
