    The Centre for Metahuman Exploration produces events that “manufacture the present tense” by creating/ mediating relationships between people and themselves through tile use of live “interactive” television, robotics and telephone technologies. Currently located at Carnegie Mellon University, the Centre combines expertise from art, robotics, and television. Recent projects include “boundary link”, an installation that allows a conversation between festival attendees and residents at maximum security detention facility. Other projects, such as The Interactive Television Show, and Absentee Ballot, alter the normally passive flow of live television by allowing viewers to affect elements of tile show by using their touch-tone telephones.
