this one is great!


when in 2006 i did the ChakraPuter:

i was researching on these parallels, and i had the performance in which 
the chakraputer and a yoga master were on stage together, trying to 
reach kundalini together :)

when the chakraputer arrived in kudalini state, it used broadcast 
network packets to "be one" to all the other chakraputers that were 
eventually on the network

So mine was oriented at researching the more intimate domains of the 
body.  And this one, instead, is a nice, positive, social research.
