6/ "I'm waiting for the web to become a three-dimensional virtual environment." "Artists have the ability to connect with a deeper essence in a way that can only be explained through more spiritual concepts - with this in mind, a hope and goal of my own would be that expression (art) becomes more aware of this connection and through that awareness it becomes more profound to effect change in the world."

12/Let the thousand data windows open; let the thousand data pockets move through the network; let the thousand gigabits of data fll the hard drive; let the thousand lines of code make the cursor dance on the screen."

These spaces depending from cables, netwoks, human, collective brain are bringing new estheticism dimension based on: - cognition - interface - memory - identity - temporality The result is evolution, interacting and computation."

24/"We believe in an experience based gift economy where no spectators are allowed, only participants. Disorient to reorient".

25/ "Real live soil, dirt sewn into a cotton pouch held in your hand that does not hold the mouse, while you say grace before you bend a bit of the universe with every bezier, new folder, link followed, undo."
