David Byrne and Brian Eno are both amazing artists. I've loved both of their work. I was also inspired by Hillman Curtis when I read his book " MTIV: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media. Designer ". Just heard that Hillman Curtis passed away on  April 18, 2012.  Very sad to hear. More artist showcased by Hillman http://hillmancurtis.com/artist-series/

I'm loving the mixes up on musicforprogramming.net/ .  I think it was started up by the artist/programmer datasette Here is the second last mix they had up

Can't help but be curious about how this will be used in the field of Augmented Reality. https://www.lytro.com/science_inside Lytro CEO thesis https://www.lytro.com/renng-thesis.pdf more info on light field  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_field

Last week I got to experiment with my very first 3d printing.  Totally excited by the topic and I think it's going to be huge in the coming years. Here is the speakers site  http://www.digitalforming.com/

The next stage in video game graphics.

This is lovely  

Some crazy motion tracking.  Reminds me of Autechre's video Gantz Graf

I've known about Raymond Scott for a number of years. But I've never really deeply researched his music and history. Truly one of the originators of electronic music. Here are a few videos showcasing his weirder sounds. This above track from Scott definitely makes me think of the sounds of AFX on the Analord series. Some work he did with Jim Henson

Track can be downloaded on soundcloud

music available on bandcamp

A recent track I put up on Soundcloud.

Thought I would post some SXSW talks that I listened to recently.  Need to comb through the archives and see what else they have, but these will do for now.
