Series of slit-scans of artists’ desktops created while they are working. Custom software slowly scans across the screen, taking about four minutes to complete, resulting in topologies of users’ computers which illustrate both the spatial arrangement and temporal flows of their activities. They produce fascinating maps of how people use their computers as their private activity is laid bare. Here are a few low resolution examples (all reproduced here with consent from users):

Katie, artist, Minneapolis

Matt; curator, writer, artist; Oakland

Rachel, artist, New York

Mark, programmer, Oakland
