		Works "Asymptote" Douglas Edric STANLEY Influenced by Heinrich von Kleist's 1801 essay "The Marionette Theater," this work projects the image of a wooden marionette onto a panel of three screens. Visitors can freely manipulate the marionette with wires suspended over a cylinder that has been placed in the center of the exhibition gallery. In manipulating the marionette, however, visitors will gradually come to realize that it is themselves who are being manipulated. This relationship reflects the state of human-computer interaction; like an asymptote, it demonstrates a relationship which moves infinitely closer, but never comes to a point of contact.
