Karsten Schmidt (aka toxi) is a computational designer merging code, design, art & craft skills. Starting in the deep end of the early 8-bit demo scene, for the past 2 decades he's been adopting a trans-disciplinary way of working and been laterally involved in a wide range of digital disciplines. With his studio PostSpectacular, he is actively exploring current possibilities at the intersection of design, art, software development and education and applying these in a variety of fields. A strong conceptual thinker and always striving for maximum creative freedom, Karsten’s design approach is based on treating ideas as software at the heart, which in turn informs all other facets of each project. When not creating, he travels the world consulting and teaching workshops about the generative design approach, open source and employing code as creative tool. He's been an early contributor to the Processing.org project and to various books about programming and graphic design, and his work has been featured in the press and exhibited internationally, including the MoMA, New York.

we're looking for video contents (clips, visual art, digital art, vj set) from emerging artists in order to show them and promote them through our new visual radio.
If you're interested in the project, please contact me: jan@shaa.eu.

definitely a good interview though
Ah... there goes my next question.. where can i get that AE/3D plug in?
Its interesting to here is theory about graphic design, i feel though the 'styling' end of this maturity gauge now falls under the name 'graphic artist' with to much emphasis being placed on self promotion, rather than tackling the problem. One example would be those many sites popping up with beautiful seductive work with no precise problem to be solved, deviant art is one example.
I love looking at these sites as do many other thousands of people. However do they strengthen your knowledge of a visual communicator? No..
To paraphrase Marshall McLuhan, 'the wacom tablet is an extension of the eye'
Great talk.
