the computer cynic (me) looks back at himself… by Aaron Kopff on October 23rd, 2009

“Having worked as an academic at MIT and a researcher specializing in computer technology and software engineering, Golan Levin now spends most of his time working as a performance artist. Rest assured his education hasn’t gone to waste, however, as Levin blends high tech and customized software programs to create his own extraordinary audio and visual compositions. The results are inordinately experimental sonic and visual extravaganzas from the furthest left of the field.” - somewhere in the interweb

I’m gonna start with wordperfect ballets…
