“In my experience, there is a huge cultural gap between the technologist and the artist. Many of my business projects have been attempts to bridge this gap, sometimes successfully but more often not. This divide is as large as any of the cultural gaps I have had to bridge during my twenty years of living and doing business in Asia. The graduating students of Cogswell College, with their deep training in both the technology and the arts of digital media, will be amongst the best equipped individuals in the world to bridge this divide between technologist and artist.”
