Dear Mr. Maeda:
My name is Max Herman and I am an artist currently working in digital media.
I would be very interested to hear any reactions you might have to my work at
genius2000.net, www.geocities.com/genius-2000, and in the Rhizome Artbase at
rhizome.org [query Max Herman].
I found the interview at http://www.designboom.com/eng/interview/maeda.html
especially interesting. Being outside of academia I have little extra money
for books so I generally use web resources.
Genius 2000 is being discussed at artforum.com/talkback, and I'd love to hear
your reactions if you are interested.
I'm also intrigued by the similarities of our respective design styles. For
example, compare the following to your images at

I am particularly interested in the motif of circles and squares, which I see
in your work as well.
You might also like a site I commissioned, http://66.39.32.223/fulfillment/,
