Who says that the hand-made and the digital need occupy mutually exclusive worlds? This work is "hot" in an Eva Hessa way. Really neat. Your right!

I love how there's pencil scratchy stuff in such a techno medium, and it sounds like there are lots of layers behind the first level that make a lot of sense. I'm also impressed by the merger of poetry, words, drawing and technology. This is the anti-Myst in its aesthetic and appeal.

Spent a bunch of time on his website today. The way he recycles commercial web detritus reminds me of they way Ryan Trecartin uses his slogans - as a sort of lost or jumbled product placement... I'm inspired!!! There is an "anything goes" feeling coming from his work which i really respond to. When you finish a "level" you are rewarded with a short web video in which he recites stream of concousness observations (poetry?) based on found objects that he is holding up in front of the camera. (a collection of old matchbooks, an assorted collection of doll/barbie hands, a handfull of dog food, etc) Really funny stuff. This stuff is great… Spent a bunch of time on his website today.
