Excerpt from artist statement My work focuses on issues such as the utopian world depicted in science fiction, which relates to a desire to live forever and the impossibility of ever solving all the problems. The use of technology in my work comments on balancing the use of new scientific developments, such as the ‘human Genome project’, but also claims new technology for art as more than a fetish for quirky machines… Projects I undertake have been primarily based on the merger of art and science (particularly physics and psychology). In the development of acoustic lenses I have spent many hours talking, in person, on the Internet and the phone exploring and discussing with scientists from all over the world on how to fine tune my developments.
