Taylor Le Melle: 

…works as a curator (“of sorts”) and certainly as a writer of ante-modern and anti-modern criticism; off-kilter catalogue essays and fiction of the artistic sub-genre type; as an editor and publisher of several collections of science fantasy, theory and poetry; as a researcher into plants, property and physical experience — bodies, the social kind with reluctance and the flesh kind with enthusiasm — cultivating perception and proprioception through self-experimentation. 

…is one of several co-directors of London based workers coop not/nowhere whose primary occupations are with building a just infrastructure for artistic practice  and with the circulation and distribution of 8mm and 16mm moving image formats.
