Net Rush: Homecoming.
Homecoming is a journey of a visual artist/Haiku poet/technologist trying to make his way home through today's technological Renaissance period. It gives us a snap shot of a day in a life of a technologist trying to startup an e-learning company in the “Net Rush” Silicon Valley.

Hai Dai shares his daily insights and symbolism through this multi-medium "xfrasis" process." His visual haikus (ekus) will overload your sensory about life in the accessible and disposable Bay Area lifestyle. From love on the run (Bay to Breaker) and the "I love you" virus to all-nighter to meet deadlines and all night raves, these poems will give you a breath taking cross section of the lifestyles in the land of opportunities.

Homecoming is a mystical collection that will enraptures us with its visual language and poetic abstract. This collection will also gives voice and cultural insights from a Vietnam-American perspective (estimated at 40% of the work force in Silicon Valley); from the celebrations of birth and marriage to the mourning of death.

Homecoming is a heart warming collection and a visual treat in the text based Internet. Like the most basic of art forms, Hai Dai's visual poems remains pure even through the vehicle of technology.
