Dorian Moore is Chief Technical Officer of SHOWstudio, amongst other technical and creative positions. Moore began his working career in the Computer Graphic Centre, Edinburgh, where he learned a wide range of digital media such as CD-Authoring, Networking and Database development. Initial clients included Adobe, DC Thomson, The Scottish Office and The Royal Bank of Scotland. He embarked on formalised study at Edinburgh University in 1993, starting a degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Maths, but on encountering the World Wide Web for the first time he felt a university environment wasn't able to be ahead of technological development. Leaving the course, his experience expanded into interface design and usability, designing an 'Intranet' system before that term was applied.

In 1995 Moore moved to London to join 'Obsolete', where clients included Levi Strauss, Nature Magazine, Warp Records, Ninja Tune, and EMI. He collaborated with one of Obsolete's founders, James Stevens, to set up the 'BackSpace' Internet arts space. Moore then established himself as a freelancer and wracked up a healthy client list: 'Good Technology', 'Internet Vision', The Guardian, British Telecom, Warp Records, and Ninja Tune. On the basis of the music clients, he set up the award winning 'Kleber Design' with Chris McGrail, which went on to work on projects such as Kylie Minogue, Leftfield, Creation Records, Top Loader, The Beatles, The Designers Republic and the Manic Street Preachers.

Moore has developed strategy skills whilst working on online marketing campaigns for Columbia Tri-Star, Lotus, Hewlett Packard and Capital Radio, and Web application skills to create Content Management, E-commerce and Community facilities for clients. In late 2000, he co-founded 'PostEverything' with Colin Newman and Tony Morley, and also joined advertising agency Bartle, Bogle and Hegarty in early 2001 as Digital Technical Manager arranging projects from Interactive TV to CD-ROM, games and on-line advertising with clients including Levi's, Audi, X-Box, Unilever and AEG. He latterly moved to Dare Digital as their Technology Manager, and has worked with TBWA/GGT as a Digital Technical Consultant.

Recent works include website design for the Royal Armouries, Visual Appliance and artist Dave Gibbons. As well as working with SHOWstudio Dorian is currently working with Japanese company 'Ynos' developing their e-commerce division 'Digital Convenience', with artists Nina Pope & Karen Guthrie of SomeWhere.org.uk, and on the ongoing development of PostEverything. In 2004 he was elected as a Fellow of The RSA (Royal Society for the Encouragement or Art, Manufactures & Commerce) .
