Torino:Margolis uses invasive electronics, biomedical tools, and performance art to explore mind/body problems at the core of neuroscience and philosophy.

 This performance uses neuromuscular stimulation which allows the audience to take over gestures during the performers’ conversation by forcing muscle contraction in their arms. The audience controlled gestures then begin to influence the conversatio
