I’ve been asked more times than I can count “What are you trying to build? You make so many different prototypes!”. Most people probably expect a few app ideas to be thrown around - but this really isn’t the point. I care about what it feels like to use a computer - the aesthetics & visceral feeling of it. I don’t want to build an app. I want to re-invent the way we interact with our devices & move through the world. The software of today feels overly constrained & analytical, Apollonian in nature. The primary way we’ve built software has been using rigid math & logic that feels utterly inaccessible to anyone who isn’t deep in STEM. This has a huge impact on the kinds of software that people create & the people who’s needs are served by technology. Compare this to sketching a picture - I can start off with a rough idea and over time refine it. Sure, I can take an analytical approach to the composition, the ideas or even how I draw the lines. There are plenty of artists who are deeply t
