Browne works within an experimental publishing practice that aims to develop artistic, collective and critical approaches to technology. His practice is based around nurturing convivial conditions for working and learning together through using whatever means is available, yet with a preference for free/libre open-source software (F/LOSS). His research and experimental publishing projects produce outcomes such as drawing, workshops, work sessions, meetups, graphic diagrams, plastic diagrams, digital tools, archives, libraries and knowledge-sharing systems and print and web publications. a workshop for everyday technology at Leitrim Sculpture Centre is an artistic research project that brings together particular understandings of tools and everyday technology. The project unfolds through many local conversations and meetings to discuss technology, experiments with so called 'low' technologies and hands-on practical experience with tools in workshops.

His practice combines a variety of media, such as books and printed matter, food, sculpture, websites and software. He holds a Master’s degree in Art and Design from the Experimental Publishing programme at the Piet Zwart Institute. Among other venues, his work has been presented at Het Nieuwe Instituut (Rotterdam), Transmediale (Berlin), Varia (Rotterdam), The Photographer’s Gallery (London), The International Festival of Computer Arts (Maribor) and Art Meets Radical Openness (Linz). Browne's work is situated with everyday life, seeing technology as not just hi-tech for experts, nor as a layer of society, but as an entanglement we navigate, and a strategy we employ for "commoning", solidarity and resistance.
