Interview with Simon Tegala, sculptor Age 27, comes from London

How important is what you do to you?
What are you working on at the moment?
'Anabiosis World' which is an international project across 10 countries using the internet. This involves monitoring heart rates and displaying them live on large electronic signs simultaneously around the world, over a two-month period. Another series of installation works involve stylised video performances on large pieces of suspended steel. From the reverse I heat the steel in specific areas so that it glows red-hot. The glow comes through the steel and interacts with the projected image. Since graduating in 1995 I've had my work in 30 exhibitions in 10 different countries.
Did you always want to be an artist?
But you did go to art school?
What was your degree like?
What happened then?
Were you immediately established as a sculptor?
Do you still have to do other work?
So obviously you do look forward to work every day?
