On April 29 & 30, 2021, the Computer Mouse Conference 2021 launched 🐁 and it was one of my favorite events, by far, this year. I truly enjoyed giving my talk. It was also an incredible line up of speakers that gave lectures and video performances. There were also live panel discussions, writing, a live zine (by Neta Bomani! WOW WOW WOW), and a computer mouse tear-down workshop that posed the question to participants of what does the mouse see? 🐭

My presentation was titled “Beyond the Life Cycle of the Object,” which was inspired by Lisa Nakamura’s essay Indigenous Circuits and artist and poet Janice Lobo Sapigao’s work Microchips for Millions.

It was presented by Culture Hub and organized and moderated by Emma Rae Bruml and Ashley Jane Lewis. With support from @processingorg, @mediaarchaeologylab, and @the.coding.train 💙
