A wearable computer which I developed for disabled children. I proposed the idea of a Children's Orchestra made up of disabled and handicapped children who would be given Musical superpowers by my sneakers; they would be bionic appendages! The children would improvise in public spaces around New York State. Seems like a good idea right? Unable to get funding f I put the shoes on myself and started making music. Here I am improvising with Joakim, a West African shamanic drumme, Vassar Grad (and educator)
The piano, iconic phallic 19th century signifier, is draped.
