Tom Beddard originally trained as a laser physicist but for the past 11 years has worked as a web application developer at a variety of creative agencies across Scotland. For the last few years his site subblue.com has provided a creative outlet for his interest in generative and mathematical graphics. Some of this output has been featured at a variety of film festivals around the world and in a number of books and magazines.
