The Alter Ego interface is designed to be automatic and, as far as possible, invisible to create a sense of wonder around the work. The installation does not require conscious intervention from the user (such as button pushing/touch screen etc). Alter Ego has a secondary audience comprised of those people who have already used the work, or who are waiting to use it, and who are discussing their ‘performance’.
