projected in a physical space to create
virtual musical creatures based on their
movements. The instrument consisted of
eight zones that participants interact
with which influence the shape,
movement, and aural properties of the
resulting entity.

Once complete, the system captured an
image of the participant to attach to
the creature which was then set free
into an ecosystem inhabited by similar
entities. The entities react to one
another, much like human beings in a
social network. Participants were able
to cause environmental disturbances
by physically interacting with the
projection.

The physical movements required of
participants ensured a high level of
investment in the process, causing a
heightened awareness of their creation,
and thus themselves. Watching their
entity interact with other entities was
a reflection of their own interaction in
their social networks.
