Jon

Jon Wetherall is currently Managing Director at Onteca where he has worked at the intersection of Arts, Technology and Training.

Recently Jon has run a number of projects which involve uploading and downloading mobile phone content. These include working with Kensington Vision to create a Ringtone Billing Platform for Reverse SMS and a facility for communities submitting photos from their mobile phones. Jon is also lead technologist on ‘Landlines’ a major arts research project funded by the Arts Council and Nesta which uses mobile phones to upload locations of multiple users. Jon has run a number of community lead animation projects, is a key trainer on our Wirral ESF project where he runs the HTML training and for his sins has become good at ESF paperwork.

Jon co-foundered the award winning International Centre for Digital Content where he co-developed the first Digital Games Masters programme in the UK. His experience as a senior computer game programmer at Sony taught him that the most interesting work occurs when Artists and Technologist collaborate.

Jon has a First Class B.Sc Hons degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Liverpool University.
