I consider myself artist first, programmer last. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad programmer. It just means, that I get excited making art with programming. It's my brush and what a cool one. I am not the most compliant programmer in the stack, but I might be quite good (Who knows, these days). Never found a bug I couldn't fix, though it sometimes takes a few DAYS! Neural nets fascinate me, they can be trained to be great assistants to an artist, but I don't get around to it as much as I'd like. Maybe this year..
I hope to create a self aware neural net someday, but I first have to figure out, what self-awareness is, so I'm mostly meditating now..
