An installation presented simultaneously as "Spiritual Computing series" at ICC (Tokyo). In the center of the work is a room that, at first glance looks like an office, with office desks, computers, and trash cans (inspired by the room that David Bowman reaches at the end of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey). Other than that, there are mouse cursors (arrow symbols) drawn in various sizes and angles at various locations in the exhibition space and are captured by cameras and relayed to the computer screen in the exhibition space. When the viewer moves the mouse, the videoed cursors on the screen move with the picture plane as if the viewer is operating the relayed mouse cursor in the distance. There was a text input area in the center of the screen, and by clicking on it, the user could connect to the "Got~" exhibition space downstairs and send a message. The mouse cursor image, which is usually flat and has no spatiality on the interface, is connected to the live broadcasted real space, bringing about a fluctuation in the relationship between raw reality and symbols.
