Definitely something living, almost alive. As we interacted with it,
providing input and manipulating in- and output, there were moments of
improvisation both artistically and mechanically. Everything is nuance multiplied. The dark and simple moments were the hardest to control.
There is a lot of technology and hardware, connected like so much
muscle, nerve, and bone, that needs us artists/keepers/mechanics/guardians (and
brains) in order to create unique wondrous imagery that feels organic. It was constant work; fixing and changing and pushing of limits.
Addictive and original, non-replicable interactions and imagery. Every now and then one or the both of us would exclaim, "That's it!" or simply, "Yeah." Dave's occasional, "That's something."
