Cory Arcangel's Nintendo hacks were what originally caught my attention of digital media being an art form of itself. His Super Mario and white clouds got my attention during a young age when I didn't know too much about contemporary art. Because of these pieces I started to do self investigation of other forms of digital art and became fascinated with experiential interactivity.

I have a small computer science background but most of what I know in terms of coding and electronics is primarily self taught. A majority of the stuff I have worked on is USB or "plug and play" and alot less circuit based. I spent a small amount of time working on Arduino, but not enough to be comfortable with it yet.

The digital media major is something I'm hoping will expand what I already know and also teach me a large amount of what I don't know. I'm primarily interested in unusual methods of interaction at the moment.
