I N _ C O R P (2003) Kate Armstrong with audio by Jeremy Turner
	I N _ C O R P is a recombinant textual visualization that is driven by audience movement within the found architecture of the Muse virtual environment. The installation offers a continually evolving 64,000 permutation statement on the subject of incorporation as an idea that intersects across several systems, including legal, religious, corporate, philosophical, and biological. As users enter and exit the space they recombine textual fragments, creating new statements about the notion of being and becoming present. I N _ C O R P is installed simultaneously in the physical gallery space and within the Muse environment. Both fields of access allow the user to interact with and affect the embodiment and evolution of the work. I N _ C O R P was presented at the New Forms Festival in Vancouver, Canada, July 31-August 2nd, 2003.
