About Me:
I think I'm most well defined by the things that I do. I'm a graphic designer, filmmaker, DJ and music producer. In a nutshell, I like being creative with technical things. I am a multimedia whore. I love art (musical/visual). I love concepts and thinking about the connections between things and possibilities things yet to happen. I don't really care for sports. Pop/Consumer culture is silly, but a very fun thing to poke fun at. I believe in appropriation as long as you do something original with it. I like pretty things even when people think they are broken. My humor is sometimes shocking. I go to UCSD and am an ICAM major (Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts - a blend of computer science, fine arts, and cultural theory). http://www.aymnetwork.com is my outlet for expression and where I keep my graphics, photos, music and interactive projects. I suck at updating it.
