The Protean Image plays with the mutable nature of software. Participants modify the software by filling out programming cards that are inserted into The Protean Image Machine. The Machine reads the cards and makes alterations to the software as it’s projected onto the wall. The emphasis of this action is on the relationship between the visitors choices and the resulting changes to the software.
