What does electro kami mean?

electro kami is the spirit and essence of a programmer, a digital designer, a filmmaker, a musician, a writer, or a developer.

When one creates intangible works on a computer or instrument, whether it be an elaborate digital art piece, a synthetic aural sound scape, a gripping movie, a grease-lightning fast application, a stellar video game experience, or a minimalistic web layout, they are putting themselves into their digital production.

So next time you write that slick function, compose that musical masterpiece, stylize that boring gallery into a magical web experience, or code the most unique menu system known to man, remember that you are putting a little bit of yourself into that creation.

You are synthesizing a piece of your soul with that digital creation.

You are creating an electro kami.

Re-energized electrons in 2018
