Career

As a teenager in London, Philip developed his skills as a cut-and-paste artist active in the city's freestyle bicycle/skateboard subculture. In 1988, after moving to the United States, he founded Anarchic Adjustment, a "streetweare" clothing line geared to appeal to freestyle/skate, rave and techno consumers.[1] Under the Anarchic label, Philip partnered with Alan Brown and Charles Uzzell Edwards.[2] Philip created some of the earliest Bay Area rave fliers.[3]

He became a founding contributor of Wired Magazine in 1993.

Nick was co-founder of the multimedia studio SFX in San Francisco from 1993-94. He also designed a number of CD covers for ambient music pioneer Silent Records during this time.

In the mid-1990s Philip worked on the film What Dreams May Come; in the movie's 1998 release, Philip is credited with "painted world visual effects: Lunarfish" (Lunarfish being a San-Francisco-based special-effects and CGI company).[4] In 1997 Philip released the critically acclaimed Radical Beauty on Om Records, a combination of audio CD and computer CD-ROM that combines music, graphic art, computer animation, and an interactive digital mixing capacity. It won the Best Digital Contents Award at San Francisco Multimedia Summit.[5] The music on the audio CD was provided by a range of techno, hip-hop, and ambient artists, including Mixmaster Morris, T-Power and Daniel Pemberton.[6]

Philip created the first video for MTV's pioneering electronic music show Amp.[3] He has performed live with ambient music artist Pete Lawrence, founder of the Big Chill Festival.

In 2006 Philip designed surrealistic-imaged T-shirts for The Imaginary Foundation. He has displayed his visual art at the San Francisco multi-media art gallery blasthaus, and he has worked as a videographer, in collaboration with audio artists Sun Electric[7] ("Meccano"), Prana, and Journeyman.

gollark: Fiiiiine.
gollark: I agree. It's precisely [NUMBER OF AVAILABLE CPU THREADS] parallelized.
gollark: > While W is busy with a, other threads might come along and take b from its queue. That is called stealing b. Once a is done, W checks whether b was stolen by another thread and, if not, executes b itself. If W runs out of jobs in its own queue, it will look through the other threads' queues and try to steal work from them.
gollark: > Behind the scenes, Rayon uses a technique called work stealing to try and dynamically ascertain how much parallelism is available and exploit it. The idea is very simple: we always have a pool of worker threads available, waiting for some work to do. When you call join the first time, we shift over into that pool of threads. But if you call join(a, b) from a worker thread W, then W will place b into its work queue, advertising that this is work that other worker threads might help out with. W will then start executing a.
