I'd like to meet:
---------Interact with people interested in creative Art and Technology projects. Setup networks to bring together both worlds. I can support the "Technology" part (coding, hardware, finding resources etc) and interact creativily with the "Art" part. I also have some Art and Technology projects I'm working on, on my free time (interactive installations on design stage).
---------Meet people with similar interests and open minds (better be bright too). Away from me seriously religious people (religion could be fun if you are open minded, I suppose) and people of the "skyladika" subculture. And when I say meet, I mean it. Easily bored with eternal mail exchanges.View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

Television:
---------Static noise patterns from badly tuned CRT screens can be used as a subconscious release machine for predicting the future (some kill animals to read their guts -it might work but respect life. It's a miracle).Unfortunately new LCD screens don't like random static artifacts: THE FUTURE IS CLEAN, BLACK AND FLAT.If you feel tired, detune your old CRT TV. The static noise has a nice soft and relaxing light, with a hypnotic sound as a bonus too.Yet, some ready-made, non random patterns are...
