Charles Walker trained as an architect at Edinburgh College of Art and attained a post-professional MSc in Urban Development from the Faculty of Business at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. He has practised and taught architecture, design and creative technologies in the UK, Middle East and New Zealand. He has designed buildings, objects and virtual environments, curated and shown work in major public exhibitions, and published extensively in academic and professional journals. His main research interests explore the dynamic and complex relationships between artistic, technological, educational and professional ecologies of practice.

Charlton’s practice is clearly located in visual arts context he engages a range of physical, digital and performative approaches in an exploration into the nature of the artefact as a field of activity in which the viewer is implicated. Strategically constructing credibility within the work Charlton consistently subverts the expectations he establishes as a means of questioning the role of artwork and the assumptions of the audience.

Current research projects with interactive digital object technologies centre around the integration of digital and physical content to question the definitions and inherent nature of time-based media.
