” I very much appreciate the DIY aesthetic and the fact that you have published documentation on how users can build their own version of the interface.  The video demonstration is compelling.”

“I really appreciate the possibility for collaborative performative, community, and public engagement with this work. You have taken what is a very simple technical approach, and expanded upon it, explored it, and harnessed it in a very fun and engaging way!”

“This project kind of rejects the notion that you need expensive tools and fancy electronics to make interesting and engaging work.”
