I had the pleasure of attending Mr. Harris' speach, and was truly touched and inspired by it (and a little intimidated...). He put words to my thoughts, and the fact that the 'whole' community is offended is to me evidence that he touched upon something important. Spot on!

Your enthusiasm and the subject itself was of great fluffyness! I loved the whole emergence, chaos theory and beyond stuff. Been wanting to delve into it myself for a while now. Somehow the thought of using algorithms and controlled systems to create something beyond the parts of the whole intrigues me indefinately. Keep on adventring!

Well if you go and look at his Etsy profile http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=5491224, where he is trying to sell prints of his art he talks about the awards that his commercial work has won and the big brands that he has worked with. I think awards are great and find a great deal of personal and professional joy on winning them. But in one breath to say that awards make you a whore and in the next use them to help sell and promote your art when you are trying to be known as a true artist is just straight up bullshit. For every person who has attacked Jonathon Harris I could counter their arguments that specifically relate back to them. Nobody is perfect and I think well all have to remember that and take this all in stride. If you are doing what you love then I envy you and keep doing what makes you happy. No one person or talk should make you so angry if you are really doing the things you love to do. Especially if he is stranger.

Yours was one of my stand-out presentations of the event, some of the ideas really got into my head. My only complaint would have been that I didn't have time to write down the reading list, and hey, here it is! A lot of what you spoke about put me in my of the processes behind formation of stars and planets - particles attracted / repelled by each other, their properties changing as they form clusters etc etc. Have you ever investigated anything along those lines? Awesome stuff, thanks again and hope to see you at FOTB Brighton '09 (my boss being unlikely to fund a trip to FOTB Miami...).
