The embedded microcontroller gives the designer renewed power to make things appear and diminish, to change color, and create shadow in space. With hundreds of million instructions per second, time can fuse the static. Rather than the debased sycophance to mankind's hunger for comfort and habit of servance, technology --the embedded micro-- allows the designer to touch what is already there, just intangible to all. By doing so, the claim to the changing of nature, or rather the ignorance and transgression of that ... can be dropped once and for all. Light can be made active once again. Forms do not passively await the regulated lumens of engineer and electrician's dreams. This is the light of modulating shade, eclipse, periods, and clouds. removed nature.
