"La familia de sintemouses" EAC Installation

I've been circuit bending old ball mouses for a while now.

I've plugged the output of the optical encoder inside the mouses to a speaker.

I tinker with the encoder disks.

I found an Epson mouse that has electric contacts encoders, making it sound quite different to the optical ones.

In November 2011 I was accepted to exhibit my installation in the "Workshop" modality.
Each artist is assigned two rooms. In one room we set up the workshop that will be used to generate the work in the other room during the course of Season Nº 8.

I recorded the sound made by the visitors in the Vernissage, here there are two extracts, a somehow quiet expresión and a noisy one.

Memories from Orient

I wanted to briefly and synthetically show the history of PCs ...

The basic components are motherboard, processor and memory. It's what all PCs have in common. Two different architectures exist.  And so, two different stories to tell about the components of each architecture. 
AMD motherboards only work with AMD processors and Intel processors only run on Intel boards. 
The common element is RAM. It is the only thing that is compatible for both of them and that all the PCs of an era have in common. 

There was an old picture frame lying around and the white background is the inside of the cover of a broken scanner.

The title is a pun about the memory boards being imported from oriental countries, i.e. Japan, China, Korea.
