From an interview with Naoki Tanaka, Creative Director at Dentsu Lab Tokyo. At last year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, he presented the world's first live performance using a musical instrument operable solely by eye movements, developed with the cooperation of an artist living with ALS.
