One last one...

Just a last observation. I really liked some of the exhibits at MBA where monitors are not just simple rectangles. Below is an image of a touchscreen/touchwall interactive in the new Splash Zone area. The face behind each of the googles is a small video screen so the people's eyes blink and move. A small touch, but a very nice one. There were many, many examples of this in some of the new work and I noticed that the public found it fun and engaging, with a sense of discovery.

By itself, video "parts" seem gimmicky, but "eyes" in particular capture attention - in interesting psychological trick!
