So in the doco I say something along the lines of, 'we're so much more than users of interactive technologies, we're creators ...' ... what's the difference, what exactly did i mean by that?
Well I'm using these technologies right now. I can use digital media to communicate; access information, share information but creating stuff with digital media is a step beyond that. When you're being creative essentially you take pieces and combine them or transform them into something new. So with the UB project I've largely taken pieces of old, analogue, physical media (photos, slides, film, video) and firstly transformed it into digital media (scanning, capturing, telecine-ing) and then mixed those sources together to create my vision of the UB world - that's another level on simply 'using' is it now isn't it.
I think it is worth differentiating between the two anyway.

a good example of your theory - yin/yang: opposites ('to use vs to create') infolding upon themselves to merge/transform into a harmonious 'flow' - that has become a new, unique product.
