I meant to say it would be great to investigate and illustrate the degree to
which modern man lives in symbiosis with computers on a cognitive level
(externalising much of our memory to hard-discs, etc) by having deaf, dumb &
blind performers stumble straight into the audience after a few unfortunate
picks of the random number generator.
If, for some reason, this wouldn't lead the audience to question to what
degree they themselves are following rules and where -exactly- those rules
come from (reflexes, hormones, social traditions, programmers with a strange
sense of humour), at least there would be pleasant amounts of chaos.
That's not to say I'd keep anyone from dressing up and doing funny dance
moves.
oke, i can bring my Fristi dancemat with me for you to hack on stage.

Actually, I've got a dancemat here myself. I'd definitely be up for some
project with dance-mats and livecoding, that would be a convenient excuse
for bolting guitar-strap-holders to a keyboard as well. Sounds like another
excellent opportunity for disaster.
