Anxiety of Influence

1999
Kristin Lucas, mousepad drawings.
Lucas inked a mouseball and let it make gestural drawings while she played games, answered email, etc.

2006
Eyebeam Open Lab - mousepad paintings
Similar gesture paintings made with a USB "double mouse"

(hat tip to jim bassett--demoted from "attack of the clones" to "anxiety of influence" since the Lucas was part meat-space, part virtual and the double mouse is all virtual. it is basically the same idea, though)


Update: another mouse doing "automatic writing," by Joseph DeLappe, from '99 (thx to ed halter)
