creative manifesto
wow. will i make it a semester at itp?
1.
polyphonic bombardment, layers of sound on the subway, six directions at some point simulates infinity; on the streets; wind pushing through the alleys, at every break freaking girls’ legs; heat and underground
2.
catch yourself before you slip! at some point zero becomes evident and unavoidable, but until that point exists in my mind it will never manifest. every new day is fractional
3.
a posse of well behaved idealists; an explosion contained. why? my friends from the bay area, seattle, nyc radiate brilliance
4.
the glory of love
5.
never give up
fire starter
i cant sleep i cant write
i just stay up all night
1. if we will be here again, then we shouldn’t be afraid of pushing new directions
2. did we account for whimsy?
3. the butterfly becomes the space. he only cares about breathing the same air

What I think is even more impressive is that this platform runs as unobtrusively as Silverlight — without security warnings or popups — but is not tied to .NET.
interview with Ben Fry
This interview on Dr. Dobbs is short, but near the end Ben Fry talks about new interfaces being developed in LA. The question, “why open source Processing,” I think comes off as from a different era.
