This project was a series of ten webcasts in June through August 2002. During these two-hour webcasts, experiments in the spirit of Luigi Galvani's experiments in animal electricity were conducted. These experiments took Galvani's concepts of animal electricity, or galvanism, as a starting point to build web-controllable physical avatars, using nitinol, small-scale web servers, custom electronics, and dissection specimens. These experiments worked with taking small implantable web servers and enabling them to trigger physical activity in the bodies of worm and frog specimens, updating galvanism's electricity with network activity.
