Chico MacMurtrie and Rick Sayre's “The Tumbling Man” was honoured with an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 1991, category Interactive Art.
In the installation “The Tumbling Man” by Chico McMurtrie and Rick Sayre, two players are trying to control and move a human- like robot by means of electronic sensors. The participants don't know who is in control of the arms or the legs. The aim is to gain control through cooperation.
