Descriptions & Essays
Realtime recordings of persons using their mouse are layered ontop of each other, divorced from their original context and then projected back into the gallery as an endless looping animation. The resulting monochromatic animation goads the viewer to make anthropomorphic links with this 'crowd scene' and while any given person originally operating a mouse is hidden from view, their trace remains tantalisingly present.
