This research document, “The Pervasive Interface”, investigates
the spatial implications of a distributed human-computer interface, concluding that as this interface has become distributed over a greater distance, it has become more difficult for humans to realize their active participation within a feedback loop with a computer. This ambiguity has been explored in multiple scenarios in dystopic novels and movies. The ultimate case study of this pervasive, yet unknown, interface is the HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Here, the human subject remains unaware of the extent of their participation within the human-computer feedback loop, creating ambiguity as to who is actually controlling the environment.
