I am an artist with a background in technology. My main strength is synthesis -- problem-solving across multiple discipline boundaries. Computers, software, and electronics since 1977; computer networking since 1984, internet since 1992, basic machine-shop skills, are now all applied to my artwork.
I do most of my work under the guise of World Power Systems, a vague entity with dubious past and an undertain future.
I'm reasonably obsessed with the early history of electronic computing (say 1936-1963), computation in general (especially of the non-stored-program sort), certain peculiar aspects of certain automobiles, the desert and road trips (that's one thing, combined), and psychedelic trance.
I collect, and read, a lot of original material in my favorite period (more or less, 1938-1964), including little bits I've put online (more to follow as time permits), and have a pretty good grasp of what Thomas Kuhn calls the 'integrity of a discarded mode of thought', at least from this peculiar period.
