"The Digital Media Center for the Arts played an integral part in shaping my art making practice. The DMCA’s staff introduced me to new technologies and ways of working I would not have discovered otherwise. Many of these working methods still play a vital role in my art making practice. The only down side is I don’t have access the DMCA now."
