I feel a propensity for design that reveals the make up of the digital medium. Bitmapped graphics recall the birth of the computer that so rapidly became more complex and more intellectual. The advancement of programming so quickly changed how we process and feel our daily lives. Art recreates nature, and like art the computer has taken on a form of nature, of human behavior. The margin for error in the face of the computer is narrowing, and the need to evaluate the computational form outside our emotional investment in its possibilities is crucial. While the masses are only expecting these boxes of wires to perform accordingly, a small sum of us are excited by its ability to a be imperfect, to show us what its made of.
