  Imagine.... You logoff from your work terminal and you decide that it is
  time to relax. You walk into your entertainment room and place on your
  Body suit and HMD. A world appears around you. This world is entirely
  grey. As you point toward the floor a colour change starts from the red 
  end of the spectrum and radiates from the exact position you indicated.
  You kneel on the ground and touch the colours you find the most appealing.
  After a short time span (and some careful decisions made by the program
  via neural-networking), shapes which make a variety of sounds appear above
  you. They all appear to be basic shapes... a pyramid, a sphere, a cube, 
  a cylinder, a cone, and a double helix. You touch the shape which you like
  the most and the others disappear. The shape becomes larger and begins to
  rotate while displaying the colours you selected earlier. As it does this
  you grab it and pull sections of the object out to form a more 
  aesthetically pleasing piece.  Its sound varies with its colour cycling
  and the program continually changes the object according to your inputs
  while changing the orginal object. You stand back and admire your 
  continually changing sculpture. At a spoken command it can be frozen,
  saved or experienced by a friend.

  This is one of my ideas of IDEAL SCULPTURE....Christopher Barnaby.
  More ideas soon.....
