HyperAction started life in 1997, when a group of teachers, community workers and arts professionals met together for the first HyperAction Symposium at Cardiff University. What brought us together was a common interest in exploring how new technologies could be applied purposefully in schools and the community. We decided to set HyperAction up as a not-for-profit educational arts company and began to develop a programme of innovative multimedia projects for schools and community groups across Wales.
Former teacher, Sue Williams was instrumental in getting
that first group together and now co-ordinates HyperAction’s activities, working in collaboration with other artists. Visual artist, Alastair Duncan has worked on many HyperAction projects and has been a key figure in developing its innovative visual style.
