This is a wonderful example of an interactive performance space. Here the connection between the performer and interactive environment is immediate and fluid. This represents exactly the kind of convergence between technology, architecture and performance that I am most interested in. This environment was developed with Processing and Isadora. At the moment I am hampered in using Processing by a lack of knowledge in programing methods and structures. Looks like it's time for CS classes!

There are a couple of examples in this video of what I interpret as the use of Video as Lighting. While working on Oblivion with Penumbra Theatre, I found that by considering the video a lighting instrument as well as a cinematic element that the Resource of video, within the creation process, was evolved into a more fluid tool with greater collaborative function.
