Tube Worms - the distant cousin of the LFST

This week, Joyce and I have tasked ourselves with reworking the form of the LFST.  Along the way, we have allowed ourselves to let go of the movement requirements and focus more on the potential for interaction.  We drew most of our inspiration from tube worms.  They exhibit a "shy" behavior, similar to that which we found so intriguing about our previous project.  What if we created a landscape of these mechanisms that moved in response to their environment, people, and each other?  What if they were shy at first, and what if, over time, you could get them to like you?  What if all of our technology had a personality?  What if my computer wasn't in the mood to work right now, and insisted on sleeping?
