The big installations not only include
the creation of or the choice of the text,

but then have much to do
with the filling of the space,

and then have to do with the programming
often of the electronics,

and that programming includes pauses,
flashes, phrasing, and more.

I really like the programming aspect.

I was a typesetter and typesetting
is not unlike programming;

you have to make it correct,
complete, pretty, and fitted.

The presentation needs
to make sense with the content

and then needs to engage people.

I don’t know how to program

so I'm, as often is the case,

reliant upon others.

We will have our ideas about
what’s going to happen,

and then we go and see
if our ideas were right.

If it’s boring, if it seems wrong
for the content,

if it doesn’t fill the space;

there are many ways to have it wrong.

And often you can't tell
until you're there.

I hope the installations are atmospheric.

I want color to suffuse the space
and pulse and do all kinds of tricks.
