Machine Therapy

MIT Media Labs student Kelly Dobson created a blender that was controlled by voice 4 years ago as a demonstration of how you could break down the communication barrier between man and machine. She has since evolved her thesis into involve more of the senses. She started a program where people can come by her lab and interact with the machines to find what seems like a spiritual insight into who they are. It's better explained in the snippet from her website:

The people participating may empathize, vocalize, move in any way with these machines, perhaps come into harmonic resonance with the machines, and thus come to find in themselves recognition of energies not otherwise accessed or consciously acknowledged.

Here's the video of her blender project from 4 years ago:
