Octofungi

Octofungi is perhaps not the most endearing term for a work of art.

Octofungi, being "An intelligent sculpture which interacts with people and its
environment and utilizes unusual materials and technologies," is an art that is perhaps as much a technology as it is an aesthetic.

For us, the Fellow Followers of Fun, Octofungi is as much a toy as it is a technology as it is an aesthetic. "Octofungi," you see, "is a reactive piece. It is sensitive to changes in light and reacts upon these changes. To interact with the sculpture, a person only needs to move his hands above the eight light sensors placed around the brain frame. Depending on the 'aggressiveness' or 'gentleness' of the participant, Octofungi will manifest different behaviors."

Yup, sounds like fun, all right.
