**David Whalen

David Whalen is an artist with quadriplegia from Glenville, New York, who creates digital art using his breath and head movements.  The art is created using Artrage software with a breath-driven joystick called Jamboxx.  The artist states that this medium has "become very useful in exploring the non-traditional digital art medium which provides so many different accessible features for persons with disabilities to explore as well as a new hands free harmonica styled midi harmonica."  Software such as Artrage provides a number of capabilities for people with disabilities to explore the visual arts. These capabilities include introducing techniques such as changing scale, rotation, shading, layering, independent setup, and dozens of other readily available program features that reduce fatigue and allow for full participation in the world of visual arts despite limited movement. Use of breath and head movement provide an alternative for the pen and the hand.  For more information about Jamboxx technology, visit jamboxx.com.
