When expressing and sharing my experiences and ideas, I am mindful of a path that leads to self-importance, and vanity. This is difficult as what I communicate arises from what happens in and to me.
I cannot create an image without my imagination, I cannot dance without my body, I cannot write without my mind. I cannot do without my I. And so I value my self, yet I must be wary of my I that all too easily becomes the focus of a world which in truth is far more than I alone can be.
The Brain-Computer Music Interfacing system enables four severely motor-impaired patients to interact with a string quartet who choose musical elements that are performed live.
Technology matters when it aids life, when it helps us connect with another and the world, when it brings us together. I publish the related triptych and poem.
I have used technology to make music since my school days in the 1970s, and photographs in the 1980s. I first used the Web in 1993, built my first website in the year 2000, and founded a software company in 2004. During my journey I have often considered the fragility of my digital achievements. My use of technology is as a tool to create, collaborate with, and publish. I continue to devote large swathes of my life within the digital arena in the hope of reaching those outside of it, and now, within it.
William Shakespeare
