Jaron Lanier, the musician and scientist who coined the term "Virtual Reality" brings the two worlds of his life, music and technology, together in a revolutionary new form of live performance. Jaron's group, Chromatophoria, combines deep use of virtual worlds with a
multicultural aesthetic. What "deep" means is that the use of Virtual Reality isn't just a gimmick in Chromatophoria. Jaron plays virtual
musical instruments that couldn't exist in reality, and uses physical instruments as sophisticated interfaces to the virtual world.
