2008 Interactive Video System Programmer: Thanks to VidVox for Grid 2 the video player software.

Burle Avant & Daniel McKernan's "Magic H8 Ball" is a darkly comedic reinterpretation of the classic fortune-telling
children"s toy through an interactive video installation featuring nightlife celebrity Sophia Lamar.
After asking a yes-or-no question, the viewer presses a button and Sophia's floating head appears and reads
the fortune in her infamously hateful and insulting manner.
