Artistically:
Similarly, I seemed to spend most of my time exploring color and form (in both photography and kinetic sculptures), again never quite finding my niche.

I could see the possibilities even in those first small personal computers to explore new directions in my art. But to do this I felt that I needed to fully understand the process that was happening inside the computer -- to fully appreciate the complexity of this evolving field. So, while exploring digital art over the ensuing years, I have also been studying the various technical aspects of computing.

All told:
I must have done fairly well. For the last seven years, I have been dealing with various aspects of systems and network administration., on a variety of platforms and in a variety of circumstances (research, education, design and scientific oriented). Presently, I am Systems Manager for the UBC Pulp and Paper Centre.

I also operate my own design firm (bdmc digital) dealing in digital design issues (including web design and management)

The trouble is, that the farther I go into the administration aspect of computing (which in reality covers most of the aspects of computing in general), the less time I seem to have for my art!
