The art of life with the internet.

My tech exploration is of something that may seem so obvious as to be done to death. However I really dont think people are aware of the unique moment in time that we have the privilege of experiencing. Never in all of human history has so much information been so available to so many people, not even close. Information and knowledge have found a radical catapult in the seemingly infinite web of computers and people. This shift in the control and flow of facts and fiction has stripped many of those who once used information for their malevolent gain.

With this unique freedom comes the responsibility to defend its uncontrolled and uncensored use with zealous and religious fury because I know that this interconnecting of human beings will be the most significant milestone in our evolution since we noticed our oposable thumbs.

We have not even begun to feel the effects of what happens when we are all able to learn any skill, research any location, any action, learn any history, find any cure, and solve any problem with a simple question to a virtual library of knowledge that eclipses anything we can currently comprehend. Scientists will solve all problems faster, artists will find inspiration and technique at will, and humanity will swell with empathy, unity, and enlightenment.

Its all about the whole being greater then the sum of its parts but NOW those parts can finally become one on a global scale. With each individual carrying unique insight to the world as a lone and isolated puzzle piece we now have a path into the future that offers us a way out and a way in at the same time.

Of personal interest to me as an artist will be the ability to present my creative concepts without the filters and shackles of reality.

Watch for it, the next giant leap will be the direct connection the the brain, bypassing the warm but heavy flesh. Once the electric pulses that currently pump information across the world on cold hard steel and plastic can be interacted with directly by the electrical impulses that carry our thoughts and feelings the full potential and our future will be realized.

See you then,
