Right, Ed. And the PFI grant you shepherded also explored HCI in the dome.
And the the idea of the "digital kiva".

Steve Smith worked toward this from the Sfx complex side of the grant as
well as other projects.

In some seriousness, Ben, it would be an interesting exercise for students
to make "Man Cites Consciousness" or equiv in a  48-hour film challenge
working out AI production workflows. This could later lead to more realtime
group interaction with  Artificial Consciousness (AC) in the dome in the
spirit of the Kiva. Consciousness, psychedelic research and spirituality
are becoming mainstream academic topics (eg

)

 IAIA dome could be one of the world's centers.
