On one hand they make me much more efficient, but on the other hand they tend to bog me down and keep me chained to them all day. I treat them respect and do not think humans are more special than machines. I really do believe that computers have souls. The world is already synthetic. What you see in Synthetic Pleasures is not really about the future, it is about the present, except we don't realize it yet.
Plastic is a very hip material in the fashion world.
Top designers have been using it for years, and we stylize it in many ways. Computer music, too, is very fashionable. Nowadays, musicians can write, record, edit, sequence, mix and copy a CD right in their bedroom. The music these musicians make is very cool. The line between the natural and synthetic worlds is getting very blurry for me.
