-**Senster**: 1970-1974 http://www.senster.com/
+  * **1964** Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe [[http://www.mediaartnet.org/works/robot-k-456/|Robot K-456]] "As Paik guided it through the streets, K-456 played a recording of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address and excreted beans." Later hit by a car in an artistic statement/prank by Paik on technologies out of control.
+  * **1966** Tom Shannon's Squat - using an electrified plant as a sensor, squat detected human presence and indicated this by changing it's behaviour.
+  * **1970** [[http://www.senster.com/|Senster]] by Edward Ihnatowicz, 15 feet long sound reactive sculpture commissioned by Phillips for exhibition in Eindhoven. Senster was interactive with it's audience, and was programmed to be attracted to quiet viewers, while moving away from louder agitated viewers. Allegedly the first computer controlled artwork, employing the use of a digital Philips minicomputer in order to process sound.
+  * **1976** [[http://www.normill.ca/|Norman White]]'s Menage, a homage to W. Grey Walter, an early pioneer in brain research and the artificial modelling of organic behavior - Menage consisted of five light reactive robots, some on ceiling tracks which locked onto each other's light sources and exhibited complex behaviour.

+<blockquote>
+Imagine being able to wear bracelets, earrings, badges, and necklaces that develop an intimate relationship with you, reacting to you in many different ways. This is the goal of Living Jewelry. Each piece of Living Jewelry can learn to recognize different qualities in your voice and movement, discovering more of your personality and behavior.</blockquote>
