1. Numerical Representation2. Modularity3. Automation4. Variability5. Cultural Transcoding

“If culture, in the context of interactive media, becomes something we ‘do,’ it’s the interface that defines how we do it and how the ‘doing’ feels.”

“The active ingredient of the work is its interface. The interface is unusual because it is invisible and very diffuse, occupying a large volume of space, whereas most interfaces are focussed and definite. Though diffuse, the interface is vital and strongly textured through time and space. The interface becomes a zone of experience, of multi-dimensional encounter. The language of encounter is initially unclear, but evolves as one explores and experiences.”
