“I am a 27 year old Cambodian American Artist at the intersections of art and technology, exploring life with creative autonomy in anti-disciplinary fashion. I’m slightly obsessed with that feeling of being grounded by the arts, and I’m humored by it as well. How is it that painting, drawing, singing, dancing, feel more meaningful and viscerally better than anything else? I’m not sure, but the more I do other things (software engineering), the more I fall in love with creating in the raw, unlimited, absolutely free, omnipresent realm of “art”. I love the absence of rules and being able to make my own, and inspiring others to do the same. I hope that my art can help people actualize and express their creative rights and abilities in personally fulfilling ways.” – Kaliane Van
