Mausware

Mausware refers to a term from nature which has been reused to define a comanding tool for computers. Ten natural mice, conserved in formalin, and ten computer mice meet on the surface of a table. Ten hidden loudspeakers are installed under the table which becomes a resonant surface. You can hear the movements of computer mice recorded with a contact microphone, which are reminiscent of sounds from the animal world. The border between the natural and the artifical becomes blurrt.
