First,&nbsp;I asked each student to make their own mind-map to respond to \u201cWhat is to be human.\u201dAfter that, each student must choose a technology-based research interest in relation to their individual mind-map. The collection of each student\u2019s mind-map then formed the basis for an overall group performance of a cybernetic mechanism (a systematic mechanism based on computational logic) that incorporated all of the students\u2019 maps and associated behaviors. The development of a calibrator and an environmental factor were added to the project as \u2018triggers\u2019 for each student to perform their own interpretation of a human \u201ccalibrator\u201d within the larger cybernetic system. The output activity of each \u2018calibrator\u2019 performance was matched and linked with another student\u2019s input activity of their calibrator. This created a domino-style input-output-feedback system within the collective performance. The students performed this work both at Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts and then at this year\u2019s Ars Electronica Festivalin Linz Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Production process of
