When I was, like, 16 or 17, I was just finding out about this YouTube thing. Then I saved a bit and asked my parents for some help to get the recording software and equipment.
I especially love right-now sci-fi: stuff that happens in current time but incorporates a scientific breakthrough that is currently being explored.
I'm a tech geek. Whenever I read about something new, I think to myself, How can I take this and make it black?
I plan on continuing to explore all the possibilities of technology, and then finally film and television and movies. Embrace it.
Technology is such a big part of our lives. It makes everything easier. It doesn't make sense to fight against it. We need to set limits and learn how to use it so that we can go to places that we have never been to before.
In the earlier part of the 90s, I was really hell-bent on discovering how new technology works and how to make records entirely without a producer, which isn't necessarily what fans wanted. But I had to do it because I felt it was in my destiny or whatever.
I do not know what got me interested in technology. What was very clear to me very early on was that I was not interested in religion and that naturally increased my curiosity about science and technology, and I fundamentally believe the two are conflicting.
I have always felt that, aside from research that violates universal human mores, when it comes to technological applications, that which can be done will be done.
Artists' obsessions with technology are not new, but in the late aughts, the work tended to focus on the possibility of the medium, treating technology like a new tool rather than a sociopolitical framework.
I saw myself as an electronic joy rider.
To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned.
