I've always been interested with the idea of technology and the way technology affects our ability to communicate - our ability to have a rewarding experience with technology versus a kind of dehumanizing experience with technology.

Just doing a project because its an opportunity wont create meaning. As an artist, I need something to communicate.

The art world has become the R&D department for so much fashion and music, so knock-offs are getting better and better.

I love the idea of bringing my work to the general public, not just people who go to gallery openings.

I think in America there's this free flow between fashion, art, architecture, music and design. In Europe it's more segregated between those different disciplines I think.

[While] physically traveling someplace or experiencing someplace firsthand, physically versus - which is what a lot of young people do - the experience is mitigated through technology and through social media.

I like controversy. The more controversial it gets, the more interesting it is.
