Description
An exploration of ‘unstable’ media, in 2017. The viewer‘s cursor seems to lose control of the game that is being played. No obvious rules seem to persist. The viewer does generate minimal visual marks and acoustic incidents, yet these seem to avoid and flee the presence of the cursor on a blank and ‘void’ white monitor. The frustrating and interactive work of net art is generated - always live - as the viewer‘s modified cursor moves across, pauses or clicks at the responsive surface of the monochrome visual projection.
