Art should not limited to "do not touch", "no photography" and velvet ropes. I believe that art must not only allow but encourage, dialogue between artist and participant. This dialogue is multi-tiered, invoking a manifested exchange of the physical as well as the mental. I do not use the word "viewer" because that implies standing back. The epitome of art is total emersion of the patron in the piece. My goal as an artist is to create art that truly shifts the traditional role of the patron from passive to active. Viewer equals performer. My medium is circuits, code, and pixels. My presentation is interactive installation. Art is not a spectator sport.
