The current program uses only a third of the system's capacity. Programing may be added that will encourage the visitor to type on the keyboard.  Currently the keyboard is disabled.  Visitors could choose options at choice-points in the random walk of the current program. New features could include participatory law jokes (like, "Why have lawyers replaced white rats in laboratory experiments?"). There could also be psuedo-conversations of the Dr. Sbaitso or ELIZA variety which might simulate a legal consult or dispute. Options to view documentation about the sculpture itself or searches through the current database could be offered. The additional capacity of the system provides as yet unused opportunity for more interactive features.
