Computer Mouse Conference (2019)

I was thrilled to be invited to create a work for the first Computer Mouse Conference put together by Ashley Jane Lewis and Emma Rae Bruml Norton.

I created a wearable mouse made of a glove filled with sand and lead weights to simulate a heavy therapy blanket or the comfort of a human hand. In this simple work I process the frustrations of the oft cold, lonely, laborious cyberspace we inherited as well as the occasional togetherness that can be found in and around it.

This conference included a group show and discussion panel about humans and tech and all the poetic, tragic, absurd, and concerning things that can transpire and be observed in this space. Topics ranged from an analysis of the anthropology of the office to visions of humanoid and collaborative computer mice.

Below is Allan Wexler using a brick mouse🧱to build a wall in the virtual space, which is, in part, what inspired this project.
