In Mice she uses wireless computer mice, turning them into (electromagnetic) musical instruments. Beats and drones from the communication between mice and computer reveal the differences between the design of each model. The possibilities of interacting with those objects change, the hand touches the mouse with a different purpose, experimenting with unusual positions and interactions in order to explore the sonic possibilities offered by this altered interface.
