Images from Japan

Images from Increasing the Latent Period in a System of Remote Destructibility where a web-based telepresence system was used to aim and fire at targets in San Francisco from Japan through various levels of indirection beginning with a web interface to the Track Robot at the ICC that interacted with the Epileptic Bot's control panel which was wired to send commands over the web back to the Air Launcher in San Francisco

More Track Robot/Epileptic Bot interaction... the Epileptic Bot was outfitted with squids which got flung around the ICC as the Epileptic Bot flailed around
