The main goal: Make more art. Specifically, the kind I call "art you have to plug in" -- kinetic art sculptures that include light, motion, and interactivity. I work towards achieving it by having my own company with a workshop full of the tools (3D printers, CNC mills, soldering stations, etc.) needed to make the art. The company uses those same tools to make products that solve problems for other companies. A portion of profits goes into funding the art projects. The technical skills needed to make the for-profit products are the same ones needed to make the art.
