Cognitive dissonance which leads to shifts in conciousness.
" I am impressed with a creative compassionate awareness that enables as it enlightens. I’m impressed with music that heals and inspires. I’m impressed with humanity and the individuals that seek to explore it rather than control or convert it.
"-Saul Williams

Open Source Artists Studio is my current projects.
Focusing on the BIG 3:
Blender 3d
Inkscape
GIMP
Formerly a traditional studio artist I have moved my entire process and studio online and I am now a conceptual artist. This past year I have been teaching myself 3d animation, digital video editing,Garageband, Vector based graphic, Python, PHP, Google app engine, and 2d animation . In addition I use Ubuntu on an old compaq, and Sugar on the OLPC laptop as well as windows xp and macosx. Open Source is important for creative freedom because you are learning a technology that will not lock you out, also it will grow with you and become richer for having many people working on the code. As an artist Open Source allows a chance to be involved in this large scale collaborative process of shaping the tools that we use to express ourselves with and to free our potential. Using tools like Ubuntu you can also salvage and recycle older machines and make them powerful learning tools for the people around you. They make great rendering stations for 3D in blender.
The alchemy is in the box, my studio is everywhere that I have access.
These days I travel with my little OLPC XO Laptop.
Whoa!Catt, do you ever have alot of friends! Haven't heard from your cousin for a long time, you two must be so busy! But heck, you have Obama as president, in Canada were stuck with stupid Stephen Harper...oh,well! - Angs.
Hey Catt, I am sending out good vibes to everyone I know, hoping that every second of your life is a blessing for you and yours. I know logically this is impossible, but it never hurts to have hope.
