I had a play with this over the Summer at Museum Ars Electronica in Linz. Having seen the article when it originally came out, I was totally geeked when I saw they had it there. I waited for about 15 minutes for some idiots to finish making crap on it only to find that I could only get crap out of it myself. Basically, as an arrangement tool, I thought it was a fairly unintuitive way to work, and I really couldn't see any advantage in it other than the presentation. That said, if I had control over what went into it in the first place, it could be a reasonably fun way to shake things up creatively. Tristan
