since my initial (and last) post but I have been busy analyzing my interests to be able to exclude some of them.
You see, I'm basically interested in the world around me from the overall world order algorithms to the individual's way of linking concepts in the brain. Anything that in some way impacts people is of interest to me but as my brain cells are being bombarded with more and more input, I need to step back and start screening, refusing and remapping things.
This self analysis leaves no visible traces (that I can detect) but it does make my heart feel lighter and rejoices my soul :-)
Finally: focus. And the winners are 3D, audio and video, and the way human emotions and behaviors can be triggered by them.
From early on I have been a 3D CGI man and this interest never left me since my thesis on 3D CAD for furniture design in 1989. The way a designer can provide feedback to his customer is a very essential aspect of the collaboration and interactive 3D is about the closest you can get to sharing your brain.
Audio and video are direct enablers of emotional expression and as such interest me a lot. I'm doodling with some concepts for making my own music and in time I will provide more info on this.
I especially like the new media aspects that have rekindled my awe for moving imagery. This was triggered by the launch of Ventuz [1] and advances in VJ software. Some years ago I stumbled across a video of a project called Crystal Mesh by Realities:United [2]. This company focuses on the "architecture's outward communicative capacity" and user experience. They support designers and architects in creating more interactive communication capabilities in architecture, urban planning, interiors... and I am fascinated by the technology, the results and the untapped potential.
Now that my focus is clear, let the blogs begin ...
