Thesis: The Nintendo Wii as a tool for making interactive media/art. Topics explored will include; the blurring of simulation of actions and the actions themselves, videogames as art, wiimote hacking for use as an input device.
"The Nintendo Wii has introduced a fundamental change in the way that people interact with and think about games and simulations, but its impact reaches beyond video games; it is also signifigant as a low-cost input device which can be used in kinetic art, computer simulation, machine interface/control or any other utilization of motion input or output."
