Rat Maze of VR
		Inspiration The Getrude Stein Repertory Theater The 1998 Ubu Workshop at the Gertrude Stein Repertory Theatre was a prototype project for international performance exploring digital technology to transform live theatre. One aspect was Digital Puppets. Two puppeteers work together to animate the live image of a remote performer, projected onto them from a distant site. The puppeteers and the remote performer must be precisely choreographed and rehearsed together. Digital Puppetry blends choreography with the telecommunication techniques used in videoconferencing.

Today's actor becomes the Diamond Age's Reactor.
