"I work best in a kind of trance state where the influence of light, color, image, and rhythm comes out intuitively. Whack the machine till the ghosts pop out of it. These psychoactive effects you noticed in my work are particularly effective when viewed on the internet—as a medium it allows me to access an audience that is usually relaxed and at home, and more open to a hypnotic state.

Something I like about using computers to make art is they can be used like an alchemical device—you put a piece of media into it and then burn it, dissolve it, expose it to some warped code, and see what remains. Maybe in the future I'll be able to download my visions directly into peoples' brains."
