I
like imagining. In my imagination I like to be playful
and to invent things. My daily routine, my surroundings,
my desires, my complaints, and my memories are the
essential source of my imaginary inventions. I know
I have always wanted to realize these inventions
for a long time and I have only begun.
I am now manifesting the objects
I invented in my childhood imagination and in the
momentary images of my memory which arise like deja
vu, through my playful translation between old media
and new technology. The questions, interests, and
desires I had in my childhood are still valid, and
my imagination of that time becomes yet fresher.
The objects in my imagination are
primarily functional. The function is my channel
for interaction. When I think of a function, I fantasize
about a person's engagement; a person's interaction.
In this fantasy, I see the common threads uniting
the separated traditions of artistic creation and
technological invention, and I now enjoy playing
with them.
