I have a desire to make my electronics projects successively more multimedia. Accompanying art, literature, and sculpture are all aspects that I am open to experimenting with. My electronics are already developing into something more than instruments; artifacts, curios, sculpture in their own right. However, during my presentation some questions were raised about the future of my works, and about having some sort of ‘lore’ or greater meaning behind the circuits themselves. Similar to Ciat-Lonbarde’s phsychogeographical map of Baltimore/Cleveland in the circuitboards of the Plumbutter, I think there is room for more experimentation with the actual construction of the boards and the mentality behind it.

Building electronics is city construction; resistors are small houses as capacitors are futuristic low-rise blocks. Vein-like wires pulse unseen with electronic signals, and the town planner has the responsibility of trying to control these pulses. How much kick-back should a city have to its giant-like overlords?

Small conceptual snippets of poetry seem to be very useful tools to zoom in on what it means to work with electricity. Perhaps I shall start writing these down on paper; a much better format for displaying thought than screens.
