Then again, it's modern art, so who can tell? :) Dagon, you’ve got one hell of a dark imagination there, my friend!

You can clearly see 2 small remote control servos doing all the work. Galvanism is using an electical charge to cause living muscles to contract. This is not Galvanism.

Part of my mind keeps conjuring up a "koerperwelten" variant on this theme; a convicted chinese woman, bluewhite, sunk in a 2500 gallon tank filled with mineral oil, her skull and pine meticulously opened up, electrodes lining her pharmeutically pigmented neural tissue, teenagers pressing a series of 48 buttons, making her limbs spasmodicly twitch in real time in concert with the keystrokes in some decadent rich westerner home somewhere, "cannibal corpse" playing in the background. Isn't there a scene in AniMatrix where artificial intelligences do the same with defeated humanity? This somewhat disgusts me.
