"Motion Capture allows a physical body to animate a 3D computer-generated virtual body to perform in computer space or cyberspace... Consider, though, a virtual body or an avatar that can access a physical body, actuating its performance in the real world."

"The robot's locomotion and direction will be controlled by shifting my body weight and turning my torso. Lifting one leg releases 3 mechanical legs to lift and swing forward while restraining the others."

"Exoskeleton is a jerky and powerful 600kgm machine... It can turn, squat and stand as well as sway from side to side. The body is positioned on a turntable that can rotate, adding another motion in the choreography of the machine. The body is a passenger but with an exoskeleton wrapped around its upper torso and magnetic sensors on each jointed segment, arm gestures can select the mode and direction of locomotion."

"During the Ping Body performances, what is being considered is a body moving not to the promptings of another body in another place, but rather to Internet activity itself - the body's proprioception and musculature stimulated not by its internal nervous system but by the external ebb and flow of data."

Images gathered from the internet are mapped onto the body and, driven by a muscle stimulation system, the body becomes a reactive node in an extended virtual nervous system (VNS)... The resulting motion is mirrored in a VRML space at the performance site..."
