マウスカーソルをプログラムで制御し、人間にはできない速度と正確さでデスクトップ上で音と映像をリアルタイム演奏するライブ・パフォーマンス。2011年にインスタレーションとしても展開された。PCを使う者にとって常に目にしているデスクトップや、使い慣れたカーソルという存在が、まるで人間から開放さ れたかの様に駆け巡る様子はコンピュータが身体性を獲得したかのようにも感じられる。タイトルに入っている「BAM」とはHIP HOPの開祖 Afrika Bambaataa から取られた。HIP HOPが、レコード２枚を強引につなぎあわせて新しい音楽を生み出したようにデスクトップでの強引な方法で新しい体験を生み出すことを目指した。
DesktopBAM is a performance piece for triggering sound and video at speeds and with an accuracy impossible for human reflexes. It was also developed into an installation in 2011. The effect is that the computer seems to have reached a singularity, and the desktop environment we are so accustomed to seeing, with its familiar cursors, begins to run free, as if finally liberated from our dreary physicality. The "BAM" in the title is taken from the hip hop patriarch Afrika Bambaataa. Just like hip hop created a new musical form by opening up the worlds of different records into each other, this piece aims to create new experience by unleashing the desktop on itself.
