He is a proponent of what he has dubbed "Research Art," or art-as-science experiment, and actively investigates the themes, technologies and ramifications of autonomy, emergence, semiotics, pattern recognition, and neural networks. Ted's works range from a group of language-inventing robots to a mythological city-founding ritual for soprano and string quartet, is a graduate of NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program. His operating principle is, in a word, poetry: to pique with enigma and confound with beauty.<o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"> <o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">"Like" us on Facebook:<o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><a href="http://facebook.com/nrpa.org">http://facebook.com/nrpa.org</a><o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><a href="http://facebook.com/turbulence.org">http://facebook.com/turbulence.org</a><o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"> <o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Follow us on Twitter:<o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><a href="http://twitter.com/turbulenceorg">http://twitter.com/turbulenceorg</a><o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"> <o:p></o:p></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Please support the Turbulence Commissions Program.
