Christopher Dooks (born in 1971) is a Scotland-based artist, primarily working in the fields of photography, film and audio-art.
[2] In 1998 while working on a program for PBS in the United States Dooks became ill with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis which puts an end to his television career.
Researching ways how to work while suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome he began developing creative strategies, he labeled Idioholism (a combination of holism and idiosyncrasy).
He has co-operated with artists like Francis Cazal, Future Pilot, Hibernate, or Rutger Zuydervelt.
In 2003 for Stills Gallery Edinburgh, Dooks coined the term Polymash to describe his "chaotic multi-disciplinary practice" and in 2007, Dooks founded "Polymash Digital Art Projects" which creates bespoke Psychogeography tours, most notably 2009's Surreal Steyning.
