“I make things<\/em>, mostly technological, but don’t hold me to that, consistency is not a human virtue. Electronics and software, cast iron, plastic, software, faux historical machinery that could (not) have been; finely crafted, rigorously rugged, reliable. A lot of what I make now gets called “art” though that’s not always how I think of it, but saying so ends a lot of questioning. i am currently obsessed with the road<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
