Why Daito Manabe is so See Yourself Sensing

Daito (and numerous collaborators) posts semi-crude videos of himself before the monitor, experimenting with things like face tracking ("Face Tracker: Jason Saragih"), electrical stimulation and LED'S.  He lets us in on the experimentation - he sees himself and later we see him seeing himself.  He's also generous with his work.
