PETE GOMES' work fuses new technologies and cinema.

Gomes is a freelance director and digital film lecturer at the Architectural Association, London. He is also founder and director of "Park Bench TV" and "mutantfilm."
38 NORTH 118 WEST focuses on site specific experimental works utilizing digital media, computing, and internet resources, and explores inventive ways to use GPS technology with rich cultural content.
