Polymash
Unlike Polymath, 'Polymash' is a term coined by the Scottish-based artist Chris Dooks in 2003, for Stills Gallery Edinburgh. It is also the name of Dooks' company 'Polymash Digital Art Productions.'
In a review of the artist's work in 2003, Scottish newspaper The Herald called Chris Dooks 'A Polymath.'
Quoting Dooks directly from Stills Gallery, he says "This is too scientific for me, I am flattered but perhaps I am more of a polymash - someone who crosses over from visual art to music to psychogeography and back again. I am too shambolic to be some like Jonathan Miller who is a bona fide polymath, so I'll use polymash.
