Prosthesis To A Well, 1996 by Sawad Brooks
	Prosthesis deals with a potentially infinite and multi-participatory space which participants navigate by "caressing" (with a circular motion) the interface of the program. The circular caresses allow participants to "burrow" deeper into the space. The space's depths are demarcated by "buried" notes (written by me) which become visible as one burrows toward them. A participant may also leave buried additional notes of her or his own. Because this work is a real-time, multi-participatory mechanism, participants "occupying" the space at the same time may write to each other by typing in notes through the keyboard. However, to do so, they must first find each other within this ambiguous space. Alternatively, participants may leave messages behind for others -- a sort of archiving act. Participants' notes dacay over time. On a given day, I may have a different set of notes up. The notes speak about the archival process, the desedimentation of habits, and how these issues are affected/infected by technology. Prosthesis debuted at Port, List Visual Arts Center at MIT. Prosthesis will soon be added to the Walker Art Center's Gallery 9.
