9 to 5 paintings


I have recently been researching the work of Evan Roth for the term paper that we are writing. Upon looking through his website, projects, blog, etc... I have stubbled upon many of his interesting ideas. Just some of the small tidbits that he has posted have peeked my interest.
One of his posts was about what he calls a "9 to 5 painting". He hooks his mouse up to a chord that splits the chord to two seperate USB ports. He then plugs the mouse into two seperate computers. Then, one computer is used during the hours of work and the other computer can be used to create a visual representation of the work that was done throughout the day. For example, one of these"9 to 5 paintings" was created from him checking his email, etc.
I find this to be such a fun way to a. create art while you are working, b. create a visual representation of what you did throughout the day, c. create something unique with an innovative concept behind it. Bravo.
