I am an artist who works in every digital medium. My process of making art is the same since I was a kid: I find a thing in the world that excites me and press my ideas into it until a new thing exists.
As a kid, the things I liked were toys, playing with my sisters, and computers. As an adult, I play with guitars, pianos, computer software that other people made, computer software that I made, cameras, microphones, green screens — there are too many collaborators, human and non-human, for me to list.
That is half of my working life. The other half is teaching people what I learned from those experiences. I have taught all ages: elementary schoolers up through other professors and well-established working artists. Teaching keeps my art practice alive and growing, and lets me enable other people to find the things that excite them so that they can bring their own particular kind of newness into the world.
Currently, I teach music technology at New York University, and animation at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. My art has reached more than a million people. It’s a happy accident that what I make resonates with anyone else at all, and I am grateful for the chance to help other people do the same.
