I like the fuzzy and the techy. I am an artist who works with code, and creates performances, installations, etc. I find it helpful to construct projects that have a good balance of different skill sets - engineer, artist, craftsperson.

I'm also big advocate for the idea that art is a kind of research, that artists are researchers just like scientists, ie, the same way a car company would have an R&D department thinking of future cars, artists are a kind of R&D department for humanity thinking of possible futures (and ways of understanding our present).

I had never thought about it in exactly that kind of way, of artists being researchers just like scientists, but I have to say I totally agree. Thanks for the links; Lights On! was mesmerizing.
