MuscleBoy . . .errr, I Mean Muscle Body

Muscleboy 03

I must be slightly perverted because it's only now I realize this thing is called "muscle body" not "muscle boy". Strange how the mind can make you see things that aren't really there. Perhaps my brain was telling me what I'm really interested in is a muscle boy. Oh well, I digress . . .

The MuscleBoy project consists of a fully kinetic and interactive architecture that is a full-scale prototype of an interior space. The project is an architectural body that consists of a continuous skin that incorporates all its architectural properties and makes no categorical distinctions such as floor, wall, ceiling, door. The interaction between MuscleBody and its players (the people that have entered the interior space) causes the MuscleBody to change its shape, its degrees of transparency and the sound that it generates.

Outside of that I just want one because the title of the project sorta sounds / looks like "muscle boy" and it would look madd wicked in my backyard.
