“mouse” creates an expressions of different times and shows the core and existential relations behind the technologies.
The “mouse”, as a speculative interface, is comprised of iron ore rock, which is a geological deposit referring to the origins of a computer mouse, and various mouse components.
This ore from the Erzberg mine in Eisenerz, Austria, contains magnetite, hematite, limonite, silica, aluminum and trace amounts of other various minerals. The reclamation and stabilization of these minerals, which are largely used in the production of daily technologies, is an important part of the media archaeological research on geological dependence and mineral migration that is a part of this research phase of the project.
