Granted, that's a pretty small category, but here it is regardless. Double-Taker (Snout): video #2 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!@@AMEPARAM@@http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/2699962725_0c1c27f934.jpg?v=0@@AMEPARAM@@269996272 5@@AMEPARAM@@0c1c27f934 "Double-Taker (Snout)" (interactive installation, 2008) deals in a whimsical manner with the themes of trans-species eye contact, gestural choreography, subjecthood, and autonomous surveillance. The project consists of an eight-foot (2.5m) long industrial robot arm, costumed to resemble an enormous inchworm or elephant's trunk, which responds in unexpected ways to the presence and movements of people in its vicinity. Sited on a low roof above a museum entrance, and governed by a real-time machine vision algorithm, Double-Taker (Snout) orients itself towards passers-by, tracking their bodies and suggesting an intelligent awareness of their activities. The goal of this kinetic system is to perform convincing "double-takes" at its visitors, in which the sculpture appears to be continually surprised by the presence of its own viewers ? communicating, without words, that there is something uniquely surprising about each of us.

Maybe we could make that in LBP? Would be hard, but awesome. A complex series of triggers could do it.
