Hi Randall, thanks for all your answers. I'm quite a lazy and slowly guy and I'm not sure to give you the right answers but I'll try ;-)
For sure I can say that I wasn't interested in streaming the content of my keypressing activity. I know it could seem such an easy content but just want to give an ironical view of my presence in the act of typing. You can see it as a sort of performative minimal/intimistic self portrait. Or you can even see it as an ironical representation of how computer based art is made today: typing. Or maybe as I wrote in the email I just want to suggest that art, as life, is what happens while you are typing. Anyway I'm not so good with words :-) and I think Filippo Lorenzin - who curated the project for Arebyte - wrote some good considerations about the work that you can read here: http://www.arebyte.com/storage-unit/4592523415 Thank you again for your interest! All the best, Guido ᐧ 2016-09-01 17:59 GMT+02:00 Randall Packer <[email protected]>: > John, excellent point.
