This is totally awesome. At one point in my life someone more schooled than myself in the arts explained that art was generally reflective of what was happening in the society at large when it was produced. This really made sense to me. I've seen some fitful starts in terms of technology/art integration, but someone finally pulled it off. From the front page: Motion sensors embedded in the space detect the movement of people, creating a reactive relationship between the real and virtual environments. Movement within the space effects creatures' empathy towards each other. Also, the biomass 'feeds' off people's movement within the space (an empty room corresponds to a barren environment). Over time, creatures adapt according to the behaviour of people in the space.
