Neil Forrester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neil Forrester is a British research assistant in the field of developmental disorders and language acquisition at the University of London 1. He is; however, best known as one of the castmembers of the fourth season of MTV series The Real World, The Real World: London. At that time he was a member of several underground, alternative-orientated music groups including his role as lead vocalist for a band called Unilever which had punk and performance art leanings. On the series he was portrayed as a contrary, but highly intelligent individual which, at times, juxtaposed sharply against the younger American housemates.

Forrester has achieved a number of notable accomplishments since his time on the show. Among them, he was co-founder of an online currency company called Beenz.com 1. He is the patent author for a data-mining technology called Star-map.

In his current line of work he has written a variety of academic papers with such titles as "Learning the Arabic plural: the case for minority default mappings in connectionist networks." He once had a website at www.neilforrester.com 2, but it now depicts a message simply stating "There is no neilforrester.com". It offers a link to the website shardcore.org, which currently contains an extensive collection of artwork developed under his alter ego, 'Shardcore'. 3
