I've finally started building my new website.  You may find it interesting.  Your comments and critiques are welcome.

Artist Garvin Nolte mounted 26 GPS on his windshield and dashboard, then had them simultaneously give him directions on a trip through Berlin's Neukölln district.  Hearing 26 voices is a nerve racking and bothersome experience. Each navigational device varies in timing and tone and in turn reflects the abundant advice we hear in our life, i.e. our drive. A cacophony of sounds drowns out important information and at times is completely different from one another.
