マウスを破壊するときのカーソルの動きを「断末魔*」として捉え、その映像とカーソルの動きを同時に記録。デスクトップ上で再現するソフトウェア作品。様々な方法で破壊されたマウスの映像をPCで再生すると、画面上のカーソルが破壊の時の動きをそのまま再現する。二度と生き返らないアナログ・オブジェクトの死と、何度でも同じ状態で生き返るデジタル・オブジェクトの死との対比や、データに宿る身体感覚、映像とその枠組を飛び出すことなど複数の視点を持つ作品。
Following the death throes of a computer mouse via the movement of it's on-screen avatar cursor in the act of being destroyed. As the PC replays the video of various mice being destroyed in different ways, we witness the movements corresponding with their destruction via their avatar cursor playback. The work can be described as dealing with the contrast between the death of analogue objects, which gone once truly never will return to life again, and the seeming death throes of their digital counterparts (which, in fact, can be resuscitated time and again) and the visceral sense of embodiment within data which this communicates to the viewer, while the video breaks frame, attempting to represent non-standard mouse activity = data inputs.
