This interactive work emits
a voice from the small pignose amp.
The sound is a voice is talking about saving files, deleting files, and
opening files,as well as coaxing the viewer to open a suitcase.
"Save file as suitcase. Delete file. Save. Open file. Open suitcase."
Inside the suitcase lives a small, hand crocheted flat bunny,
with resistors beaded into it's stomach area.
Replacing the retina of the bunny, there is a photocell implanted inside
the eye. The photocell sends light level data to a computer, and upon
opening the suitcase, releases a very loud geiger counter noize. The noise
is variable.
