1987年，在卡拉研究所的一个名为“DigitalMudrRapoport”的交互式装置中，返回到“Biorhythm：你感觉如何？”中获取的数据。；她把每位参与者的手势与52种被称为Mudrs的手势之一联系起来。在这样做时，Rapoport提出了手势的跨文化关联及其跨文化含义。Mudrs及其单词含义在西方语境中并列，并转录到计算机打印输出中，也转录到Kathakali舞蹈中。拉波波特发现，在西方文化中，人们选择用来描述自己手势的单词，而在“泥泞”词汇中，用于描述手势的单词却出人意料地相似。最后，Rapoport制作了一个幻灯片演示，展示现任在语言上下文相似的情况下做出类似的手势。

In a 1987 interactive installation at the Kala Institute entitled Digital Mudrā Rapoport returned to the data acquired from Biorhythm: How Do You Feel?. She associated each participants gesture with one of 52 hand gestures known as Mudrās. In doing so, Rapoport suggested the cross-cultural correlations of hand gestures and their trans-cultural meanings. Mudrās and their word meanings were juxtaposed within a western context and transcribed onto a computer printout and also, into a Kathakali dance. Rapoport discovered that the words people chose to describe their gestures in western culture, and the words given to the gestures in the Mudrā vocabulary were surprisingly similar. Finally, Rapoport created a slide presentation showing current political leaders making similar gestures having similar verbal contexts.
