I think there’s a societal notion of some sort of mutual exclusivity between things seen as creative or “left-brain” such as art and music, and things seen as logical / utilitarian as coding, electronics, etc. Martin’s work really inspires me to try and destroy that exclusivity, and I think his approach is the way to do it.
