They come in pairs, from Frederico Pinto a recommended reading of a very interesting experiment by the Washington Post, it is not recent but I did not catch it before:
"Will one of the nation's greatest musicians be noticed in a D.C. Metro stop during rush hour?"
Check the full article here (Pearls before breakfast).
From Pedro Pinto and Samuel Tapada the entertaining, to say the least, ZEITGEIST II ADDENDUM. The follow up to the original film with focus on money, corruption, scandals and The Venus Project.
Thank you to both of you!

(PDF) Encouraging Witting Participation and Performance in Digital Live Art | © Jennifer G. Sheridan, Nick Bryan-Kinns, Alice Bayliss, 2007 Published by the British Computer Society People and Computers XXI – HCI… but not as we know it: Proceedings of HCI 2007 Linden J. Ball, M. Angela Sasse, Corina Sas, Thomas C. Ormerod, Alan Dix, Peter Bagnall, and Tom McEwan (Editors) | "We describe a framework for characterizing people’s behavior with Digital Live Art. Our framework considers people’s wittingness, technical skill, and interpretive abilities in relation to the performance frame. Three key categories of behavior with respect to the performance frame are proposed: performing, participating, and spectating. We exemplify the use of our framework by characterizing people’s interaction with a DLA - iPoi. This DLA is based on the ancient Maori art form of poi and employs a wireless, peer-to-peer exertion interface. The design goal of iPoi is to draw people into the performance frame and support transitions from audience to participant and on to performer. We reflect on iPoi in a public performance and outline its key design features."
