My life is a testament to the idea that you can achieve whatever the hell you want if you possess a modicum of creativity, and a certain amount of naïveté concerning what is and isn’t possible in this world. I’ve had one-man shows of my paintings in New York, but I’m not a painter. I’ve authored several books, but I’m not a writer. I’ve made a living as a recording artist for the last 30 years, but I can’t read a note of music or play any instrument. I’ve somehow managed to make a career out of doing a great number of things I’m in no way qualified to do.

Hard-wired devices by Roger Ibars (2002–2011).  The collision and merger of game controllers and alarm clocks repurposes two devices, but it also frees the controller from it’s console and lets the beauty of it’s interface to sing.

Alpha Waves by Infogrames (1990, Atari ST/Amiga/DOS).  This game was released by a major publisher and yet it would fit in well amongst indie/experimental games of today.  [Incorrectly] considered to be the first 3D platformer, it was supposedly able to stimulate the emotional centers of the brain with its use of color and music.  As such, “Emotion” mode was much more popular than “Action” mode: 

Emotion mode was not time limited, and allowed players to explore the game environment freely. While completing the game in Action Mode was very difficult, many players simply enjoyed exploring the game territory in Emotion Mode.
