Gould or not?

Very thoughful review of a very ambitious project. It was a challenge to digitize as eccentric a performer as Gould. Do you sense the presence of a soul in the machine or a top-notch typist? I suppose it would be possible for a computer to scan a Pollack drip painting and replicate the exact order and velocity of strokes to produce an action painting virtually identical to the original. But in the end who really cares? I like Gould's point about teaching the camera to lie. But doesn't this imply the presence of an artist behind the camera? Is it Gould or Geppetto?
