Protocol is an interactive art installation that attempts to realize a new form of human-machine symbiosis. Through a multi-modal interface, the piece networks the human with a group of sensing, , rhythmic patterns and electrical stimulation of the participant's skin.

Heterogenesis is an interactive sound and tactile environment consisting of a group of autonomous artificial life agents that collectively form a rudimentary artificial neural network. The agents, taking the form of long pillar-like sculptures, generate and evolve a soundscape in response to one another and to the presence of human participants. They respond in three ways: (1) by altering their generated sounds, (2) , Heterogenesis and machine. [http://ccastellanos.com/projects/heterogenesis/ More info]
