My Story

I straddle the divide between digital native and digital immigrant. I am too old to be a native, but I feel at home among 1’s and 0’s. I must have been hardwired for this because I learned to think “interactive” at an early age.

I attribute this to skateboarding in NYC, writing graffiti, and being a DJ. In all of these art forms, you break the rules and use technology to repurpose an object to meet your needs.

The tools can be wax and a handrail, a marker and a blackbook, or a needle and a record. The outcome is the same. That is exactly what I do now. I use technology to repurpose content to tell stories interactively.

I put this together to show how elements of graffiti, skateboarding, and DJ culture can be applied to the development and growth of interactive media.
