Hi I'm goldfishlaser

Welcome to my personal web site. I am Melanie Allen, 36/f/usa. I have an ecclectic collection of creative pursuits. This site is my home for sharing examples to friends, collaborators, and patrons.

I do a variety of performance art, including aerial silks, prop manipulation, and dance. I create visual art in several mediums, digital and physical. And sometimes digital made physical with 3D Printing. I'm passionate about open source software and hardware. My code interests include HTML5/CSS3, Javascript, Python, OpenSCAD, Processing, Assembly, C/C++.

I plan to continuously update this site. so that you learn such things in a more interesting way. I am a fan of demoscene culture, interactive storytelling, and games so I will start building them into the site. I'm very "agile" and "work in the open" here. ;)

I'm also gearing up to try and produce some video content on a more regular basis.
