Added to below (wrongly labelled) - Whilst this seems distant to the video it is not as I use my evolved performance art (multiples of volumetric & linear and planar sensor spaces to create a Virtual Interactive Space that targets achieving a "beyond control" almost spiritual experience where one is subliminally interacting with the self. Sorry it sounds very abstract and it is - but it is interesting if you are open for it. Contact tonybrooks@soundscapes.dk

I met Evan at the Barry summer schools about 35 years ago - his explanation here is profound and accurate for the work I am associated with but I attempt to use computers as the mediation for play/creative/training (always a problem with words in this context as one has to experience it) with offering new opportunities for disabled people through closure of the afferent efferent neural feedback loop that can be missing through impairment.
