Epizoo is a performance-installation in which a series of pneumatic mechanisms deform parts of the artist's body: the nose, buttocks, pectoral muscles, mouth and ears. The pneumatic mechanisms are operated by the public, who interact with a touch screen that presents 12 different virtual representa- tions of the artist's body. By touching graphical elements on the computer screen, spectators simul- taneously modify the audiovisual environment of the installation and activate the pneumatic mechanisms. The artist stands on a rotating platform in the center of the room and in front of a large-screen graphics projection. The performance usually ends with a gas flame firing out of the costume's helmet. In a remote-control-guided action of pleasure and torture, the spectators manhandle the artist without dirtying their hands.
