Art = Communication

About Me

a perfect dreamer
I am a computer scientist for living, cyberartist for life. The big dream is to apply various cutting-edge technologies to the communication art on cyberspace (Internet), making cyberart (art that can only exist on Internet) fully blended into our daily virtual life on cyberspace (e.g. myspace).

communicate our souls - Everyone is an artist as everyone communicates, and communication is an art. We communicate better, life would be better. The dream is to establish a superior communication paradigm on cyberspace for all sorts of our messages, thoughts, moods, and emotions, absolutely beyond the words. Yes, communicate our souls!

Let's communicate. Making the dream come true, add me as a friend. Thanks.

My Interests

cyberart(Internet art), digital art, video art, communication art. My current cyberart experiments focus on the convergence of video art and social networks (or broadly, web2.0 movement).

I'd like to meet:

50-80% human + 10-30% beast + 10-20% machine
Sounds weird?
Well, we are human no brainer, we are beasts by nature, we are machines by making us more human :)
No brainer? Had I lost my mind?
Nature? Is my body always with me?
Making human? We are shaped by what we invented (e.g. myspace.com :) What's a true heart?
Probably the lifetime trick is how to balance the mind, the body, and the heart. I am working on this and would love to learn from and share with all friends.

"Art = Communication" as initially claimed in 1997

[Note: This is an old article I wrote in 1997. After almost 10 years, the vague idea of "concept communicator" is eventually coming true -- myspace itself could be a good example, no matter it's still...
