I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.
我一直对技术感兴趣，但特别是我们如何使用机器来激发想象力。 我从小就开始使用计算机，并着迷于创建允许计算机与人类对话的规则和说明。 我们周围数据中发现的故事可以做到这一点。
I think that music and visual arts can complement themselves nicely. They do different things - the music forces you into a different mood and perspective whilst the visual stuff can engage you in a more direct cognitive manner.
我认为音乐和视觉艺术可以很好地互补。 他们做不同的事情-音乐迫使您进入不同的心情和视野，而视觉材料可以使您以更直接的认知方式与您互动。
I've always been a bit of a mix between art and technology. I used to paint a lot, but I'm not very good with my hands. It has always been a fusion between my computer gaming interests and being exposed to the rich data of society that we live in.
我一直是艺术与技术之间的混合体。 我曾经画很多东西，但我的双手不太好。 这一直是我的计算机游戏兴趣与暴露于我们所生活的社会的丰富数据之间的融合。
