Diane's primary individual creative works consist of differing forms of hypertext. Some are simply texts published online (rather than in printed form); and others are explorations in new media (combining animation, images and written text). All Diane's creative works traverse the boundaries of poetry, theory and story-telling. This site also acts as an e-studio where many of Caney's works are in process.

Diane Caney was born 43 degrees south of the equator. After completing her doctorate in 1997, producing two volumes on Patrick White and Sidney Nolan with over 100,000 words and more than 200 colour images, she became intrigued by html as alternative medium to print. Her thesis had explored intertextuality, and particularly reading intertextually across textual media.

Caney began collaborating with Robin Petterd, an artist working
in the arena of digital media. Several of their works
have gained i n t e r national
acc l a i m.

In 1999
they were awarded
a joint Australia Council Grant from
the New Med ia Fund to produce a website focussing
on the process of collaboration between a visual artist and an author.
The result was archiving imagination which can be found at: archiving.com.au

Apart from her life as a writer and assembler of texts, Diane has 2 small children: Elsie (b. 1991) & Fischer (b. 1993). Her husband is a sculptor, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, who currently maintains lighthouses and other navigational aids around the coast of Tasmania.
