It is an ecology of resources that establish new interdependencies...” - Philippe Zulaica - Digital Biotopie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ”these strike me as employing technology in service of an idea, rather than using ideas to justify the deployment of technology.” - Manifest Density ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ”This is a beautiful interconnection of electronics hardware and software design, with art, music, nature (wind and trees), and chaos.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------
