CLOSER THEN YOUR MOUSE

CLOSER THEN YOUR MOUSE (2003)
socio-art game

One from the main motivations of the collecting of computer mouse dirt
was the social dimension, the possibility of personal contact and interaction
with other unknown students and professors of our faculty. The process
of collecting has become to be very intimate, because each from the samples
of dirt had a high evidence value about its previous owner. After I had 57
samples I put them on 8 faculty notice boards. The intention was to evoke
feedback between the computer users and me and between the computer
users themselves.
